A man in his 20s is dead and another is in critical condition after a shooting outside a Yorkville hotel.
At around 4:30am, police responded to a call of gunfire outside the Howard Johnson Hotel on Avenue Rd., south of Davenport Rd.
The bullets hit a 25-year-old Montreal man – a guest at the hotel – in the chest, and despite paramedics best efforts to save him, he died in hospital a short time later.
In the front entrance of the hotel, police found another victim shot in the stomach. He was rushed to St. Michael’s Hospital where he remains in critical condition.
Police have no motive for the murder or suspect description, but will be reviewing surveillance video.
