Broad Daylight Bus Stop Shooting Murder

The lockdowns of five schools in the Eglinton and Glenhaven St., area were finally lifted at around 5pm Monday, but police are still on the hunt for the person who shot and killed a man near the busy intersection while he stood at a bus stop.

The shooting took place around 2:45pm. The victim, believed to be in his 20s, had no vital signs when paramedics arrived and was pronounced dead at the scene. He was shot in the head and chest.

It's not clear what led to the gunplay, or if the victim was chosen at random or targeted.Police have a description of their suspect: He's:
  • Black,
  • 17-20,
  • 6'2",
  • Hair in corn rows.

He's also believed to have been wearing a bright blue baggy shirt and dark baggy pants.
