Toronto police are investigating after a male victim was killed in a shooting in Etobicoke on Saturday afternoon. Police said they received a call shortly before 4:30 p.m. for a shooting in the area of Rathburn Road and The East Mall. When officers arrived, they located the victim, believed to be in his teens or early 20s, with gunshot wounds. Insp. Jeff Allington said life-saving measures were performed before the victim was rushed to the hospital. He was later pronounced dead, Allington said. The victim has not been identified. The homicide unit is investigating the circumstances of the shooting. Police said they are looking for at least two suspects last seen wearing dark clothing. “We’re in the very early stages of this investigation, and you can expect to see officers out canvassing in the neighbourhood,” Allington said. “We understand that an event like this can be very traumatic for the community and the members that reside and work in the area, and we want to assure you that we are also concerned about this,” he added.
