A man is dead following an early morning shooting in the Junction area. CP24’s Arda Zakarian reports. <\/p>\n
Homicide detectives are investigating a \u201cbrazen,\u201d deadly shooting that occurred just down the street from a police station in Toronto\u2019s west end.<\/p>\n
Shots rang out shortly after 5 a.m. on Osler Street, a residential area near Old Weston and Davenport roads.<\/p>\n
Police said the shooting occurred not far from 11 Division and officers, along with paramedics, arrived on scene within minutes. A man was found suffering from gunshot wounds on the street and first-responders attempted to resuscitate him. <\/p>\n
\u201cDespite all of their best efforts, the male was pronounced deceased at the scene,\u201d Duty Senior Officer Phil Sinclair said during an update on Tuesday morning. <\/p>\n
The homicide unit has taken over the investigation, he said, and any information on possible suspects will be released by detectives involved in the case.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do not have any confirmed suspect information at this time,\u201d Sinclair said. <\/p>\n
He said police believe the shooting occurred outside and early indications suggest it was likely targeted.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do recognize that a shooting of this nature is very alarming for the community. We do take this shooting very seriously,\u201d Sinclair said.<\/p>\n
He noted that officers are dealing with a large scene and evidence markers could be seen scattered along the street on Tuesday morning. <\/p>\n
Sinclair was unable to provide an exact age for the victim, saying only that he is possibly in his 30s. The senior officer was also unable to say whether the victim resided in the neighbourhood. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a number of resources on the scene as we are investigating this shooting very diligently,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Officers are currently canvassing for witnesses and anyone who may have dash camera or security video from the area at the time of the incident.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is very brazen,\u201d Sinclair said of the incident. \u201cThis was very close to the police station.\u201d <\/p>\n
He noted that there will be an increased police presence in the area for the remainder of the day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man is dead following an early morning shooting in the Junction area.
