A post-soccer game hangout turned deadly on Sunday evening in north Etobicoke after a shooting claimed the life of a 61-year-old man and seriously injured four others.
Police said sometime around 11 p.m., two suspects in a newer-model, black or blue pickup truck pulled up to the parking lot of North Albion Collegiate Institute, near Kipling Avenue and Mount Olive Drive, got out of their vehicle, and fired up to 50 shots at a group of 15 to 20 men.
One of the victims was rushed to the hospital in life-threatening condition, but later died.
Four others sustained serious, but non-life-threatening injuries, police said. They were also taken to hospital.
During a news conference on Monday morning, Det.-Sgt. Phillip Campbell told reporters that one of the surviving victims suffered “serious, life-altering” injuries, while the other three are being treated for gunshot wounds.
Police have not publicly identified the man who died.
He has, however, been identified by family as 61-year-old Delroy George Parks.
