Toronto police have identified the victim in a fatal Greektown shooting and are appealing to witnesses for more information about the incident.
Officers responded to the area of Danforth and Carlaw avenues around 3:30 a.m. on Sunday for reports of gunshots.
Police allege there was a fight involving multiple people and someone fired a gun. A victim was struck and rushed to hospital in life-threatening condition where he was later pronounced dead.
The man shot has been identified as 29-year-old Shamar Powell-Flowers of Toronto. Police have released a photo of the victim.
No suspect information has been made available.
Investigators are asking anyone who was in the area at the time of the shooting, including anyone driving who may have dashcam footage, to contact them.
Hours earlier and only a few blocks away, the city had held an informal gathering to mark five years since a man went on a shooting rampage along the bustling thoroughfare, killing two people and injuring 13 others.
