Toronto police have identified two men who were shot and killed in the Weston neighbourhood early Tuesday morning.

Investigators say 33-year-old Akim Fleming and 31-year-old Rajiv Ralph were found outside an apartment building suffering from gunshot wounds in the area of Hickory Tree Road, near Weston Road and Lawrence Avenue West, around 4:40 a.m.

The pair were rushed to hospital where they were pronounced dead.

A number of residents told CityNews they heard at least a dozen shots fired. Several shell casings were found on the roadway where the shooting occurred.
