A 35-year-old man is dead after a shooting outside of a west Toronto home late Monday, police say.

Toronto police said emergency crews responded to the scene in the area of Park Lawn Road and The Queensway at 11:49 p.m.

Police said officers found a man out front of the home and tried to perform life-saving measures. Paramedics took the man to hospital where he died.

Toronto police have not released the name of the victim.

Neighbours told Global News the owner of the property where the shooting took place has a construction company.

The homeowner also reportedly rented out the house as an Airbnb but when the shooting occurred, neighbours believed the owner was home and potentially hosting drinks in the backyard.
