A male victim has been pronounced dead after shots were fired in Scarborough’s Malvern neighbourhood Sunday evening.

Multiple people reported hearing gunshots in the area of McLevin Avenue and Empringham Drive at around 6:45 p.m.

Officers arrived at the scene and found a man, believed to be in his 20s, without vital signs. Emergency responders tried to revive the man, but he was pronounced dead a short time later.

No other injuries were reported in connection with the shooting.

There is no information about possible suspects so far.

Neighbours who spoke with CP24 said they heard the sound of an argument prior to the shooting.

“I heard not only one person – a man and woman. They were screaming or arguing or something,” neighbor Siyao Peng said.

Another woman said she’s shocked to see a large police presence in her neigbourhood.  

“I’m probably about as shocked as everybody else is,” she said. “This is a quiet neighbourood. People get along. The kids are outside on a daily basis playing with each other.

“We communicate with the neighbours and we socialize so to see something like this happen so close to my home – it’s quite shocking to be honest with you.”

The deadly shooting comes on the heels of another fatal gunfire incident in Scarborough Sunday that saw two men shot dead at a BBQ around 1 a.m. Police said Sunday night that it’s still too early to say whether there might be any connection between the two shootings.

Police are urging anyone with information to come forward to investigators.
