Toronto police are searching for two suspects after an 18-year-old man from Barrie was shot and killed near a community centre in Etobicoke overnight.
Police identified the victim as Brandon Blake during a news conference Tuesday afternoon.
Paramedics were called to the area of Martingrove Road and Finch Avenue, near the Elmbank Community Centre, around 1:10 a.m. Tuesday for reports of a possible shooting.
Officers found Blake suffering from gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Det.-Sgt. Sandra Arruda says investigators are looking for two male suspects.
One is described as light-skinned with a thin build, while the other is described as brown-skinned with a medium build. Both were wearing all black, with their hoods up and faces covered by masks.
Police have not determined whether the shooting was targeted or gang-related.
Arruda says it's also too early to know how many shots were fired, although investigators found multiple shell casings at the scene.
Police remain in the area, speaking with witnesses, gathering evidence and reviewing surveillance footage.
Arruda also appealed to anyone with information to come forward, even if they believe it may be a minor detail.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Toronto police.
