The Toronto Police Service (TPS) has identified a man who was fatally shot in Scarborough.
Officers say a man was walking in the Eglinton Avenue East and Markham Road area in Scarborough Village just after midnight on Thursday when he was struck by bullets fired from a moving vehicle.
When first responders arrived they found the man suffering from gunshot wounds. Life-saving measures were performed, and he was rushed to a trauma centre, where he died from his injuries.
He has been identified as Adam Christopher Moncrieffe, 34, of Toronto.
Investigators released photos of a vehicle they say was driving around the neighbourhood before the shooting and was later seen fleeing southbound on Markham Road. It’s described as a new model white Honda CRV with dark rims.
No other suspect descriptions have been released.
A witness who lives in a nearby residential building tells CityNews the sounds of gunshots awoke her suddenly early on Thursday morning.
“It was very loud. Very loud. I wake up… [it sounded] like a big gun,” the woman said.
