One person has died and another is in serious condition following a shooting in Rexdale.
Toronto police were called to 18 John Garland Boulevard near Kendleton Drive just before 2 p.m. on Sunday.
Two victims were found on the scene with gunshot wounds. One was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition where he later died of his injuries.
The second victim suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries.
Police confirmed one of the victims was a male, but no age has been given for either victim.
Det. Stephen Henkel from the Toronto police homicide squad said there is no suspect information available at this time, but he did provide the description of a possible suspect vehicle.
“We are looking for a light coloured vehicle that was last seen travelling eastbound on John Garland Boulevard,” he said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
This is the 10th homicide of the year.
