Security images released of suspects in Lawrence Heights shooting

Toronto police have released security images of two suspects after a 24-year-old man was shot outside his Lawrence Heights area apartment building on Friday.

Emergency crews responded to a call at Flemington and Allen Roads at around 11:15 p.m.

According to police, the victim was sitting on the front steps of his low-rise apartment building, talking on his cell phone, when a vehicle pulled up to the building with three unknown men inside.

Two of the men got out of the vehicle, armed with at least one firearm, and fired at least seven shots at close range toward the victim, striking him several times, police say.

The suspects then fled the area in the vehicle.

The victim was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries. After undergoing several surgeries, his condition is stable.

Police are hoping members of the public will help them identify the suspects.

The vehicle is described as a four-door, dark-coloured sedan.
