Man Dead After Shooting In West-End Highrise

A man is dead and Toronto Police are investigating after an early-morning attack.

Officers sealed off parts of a west-end apartment building after finding three victims there around 5am Sunday. The violence broke out at the highrise on Dixon Rd., just east of Martin Grove. Two of the victims had sustained stab wounds, while a third was gunned down.

That man was rushed to hospital but later succumbed to his wounds.

"It appears a young man became involved in an altercation. At that point, shots were fired. The male was struck. He subsequently was taken to a local trauma unit and he succumbed to those injuries," revealed Det. Mike Carbone of the Toronto Police.

Heavily armed ETF officers searched the area for suspects, but so far no arrests have been made.
