A 23-year-old man is dead and another man has been charged with manslaughter after a shooting at a home in Leaside.
It happened on Rykert Crescent, near Eglinton Avenue East and Brentcliffe Road, around 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
Police said the victim, who they have identified as Campbell Smith, was shot once and rushed to a nearby trauma centre.
Conor Colangelo, 24, of Toronto, is expected to appear in court on Wednesday for a bail hearing.
Neighbours told 680 NEWS a family with three sons lives at the home.
One of the sons was taken in police custody for questioning, but it’s not clear if that is the person charged.
Reports say the victim was a friend of one of the adult sons who lives in the home. They were reportedly playing with a gun when the son accidentally shot his friend.
