Toronto Police are searching for three suspects wanted in a shooting in North York’s Lawrence Heights neighbourhood that killed one man and sent five others to a hospital Tuesday evening.
Police were called to the Flemington Road and Zachary Court area just after 8:30 p.m. Tuesday for reports of gunshots.
It’s alleged a group of three suspects approached a group of people and shot into them before fleeing the area.
Toronto police say a 31-year-old was killed, while a 17-year-old youth, an 18-year-old man, a 19-year-old man, a 25-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The victim was in a wheelchair when he was shot, according to police.
The five victims who were sent to the hospital were expected to survive.
Police said they believe the shooting was targeted, and officers are investigating whether it was gang-related.
“This kind of violence causes a lot of pain and anxiety in our communities,” said Toronto police Chief Myron Demkiw.
“We will do everything we can to find those responsible for last night’s brazen violence in Lawrence Heights.”
All three suspects are described as male, with slim to average builds, wearing dark clothing and face coverings, and all were carrying firearms.
“Disturbed by news of the shootings in the Lawrence Heights area this evening,” wrote Mayor Olivia Chow on social media Tuesday evening.
