Man shot ‘multiple times’ in Oakwood Village

A man in his 20s suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries following a shooting in Oakwood Village Wednesday evening.

Toronto police were called to a parking lot outside a beer store on Oakwood Avenue north of Vaughan Road just before 6 p.m.

Police say the victim was suffering from multiple, lower body gunshot wounds. He was taken to a nearby trauma centre.

A black male, believed to be in his 20s, was seen fleeing on foot southbound towards Vaughan Road. He’s described as being between five-foot-eight and five-foot-10 with a skinny build and wearing a white hooded sweat top with black pants and carrying a blue bag.

Police would not say if this was a targeted shooting but their preliminary investigation indicates there may have been some sort of interaction between the two prior to the incident.
