A male believed to be in his 30s has been taken to hospital in life-threatening condition after a shooting took place in Etobicoke on Saturday evening.
The incident happened in the area of Mount Olive and Silverstone drives just before 6 p.m.
Officers said they located multiple shell casings at a courtyard nearby.
The brazen shooting took place while there was still light outside, Insp. Keith Smith told CP24 at the scene.
“At about 5:45 p.m. we received calls that a shooting had taken place and there was a male victim who had ran after being shot and collapsed,” he said. “Our officers got here and they located some casings as well as the victim.”
Toronto Paramedics said they located a male victim suffering from gunshot wounds when they arrived on scene. He was subsequently taken to hospital to be treated for his injuries.
A suspect wanted in connection with this investigation has been described as a five-foot-nine to six-foot black male wearing a black hoodie by police. Officers added his face was concealed at the time.
Roads have been blocked off in the area to accommodate a police investigation.
