CBC
Toronto police have identified the 29-year-old victim of a fatal shooting in the city's Greektown neighbourhood over the weekend as Shamar Powell-Flowers.
Officers responded to a call for the sounds of gunshots in the area of Carlaw and Danforth avenues shortly after 3:30 a.m. Sunday morning, police said in a news release Monday.
They found a man suffering from gunshot wounds.
Paramedics took the victim to hospital with life-threatening injuries. He was later pronounced dead.
Police haven't released any information about suspect information.
The shooting happened less than a block away from Withrow Park where a commemoration was held on Saturday for the fifth anniversary of a mass shooting in the same neighbourhood, which killed two people and injured 13 others.
Police haven't shared any information to suggest the two events are connected.
