Police say a man is in critical condition, and a suspect is wanted following a shooting in the Weston neighbourhood on Wednesday night.
Investigators were called to Weston Road just north of Lawrence Avenue West around 6 p.m. after “multiple shots” were reported.
When they arrived, they found a male in his 20s suffering from gunshot wounds. The victim was taken to a trauma centre with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
A police spokesperson tells CityNews that the victim was arrested and charged, but the suspect remains outstanding. The charges include discharging a firearm with intent, possession of a firearm and other related offences.
“I cannot confirm whether the victim and suspect are known to one another,” police said.
Authorities are searching for a Black male with a medium to heavy build and short hair, who was last seen wearing all-black clothing.
The roads were reopened following the investigation, police said.
