Police say that the suspect involved in a fatal daylight shooting in Toronto’s west-end early Friday afternoon was “lying in wait” for the victim.
Emergency crews were called to the area of St. Clair Avenue West and St. Clarens Avenue, near Landsowne Avenue, around 11:40 a.m. after receiving multiple reports of a shooting.
According to police, a man believed to be in his 30s had just entered his car when someone approached him and opened fire. After the incident, citizens pulled the victim out and performed CPR until paramedics arrived, police said. Despite life-saving measures performed by officers, the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

Stacey Davis told reporters Friday afternoon that the shooter appears to have been “lying in wait” inside a vehicle before firing several rounds and then fleeing the area in a vehicle. “It appears that he was in a vehicle and he was the passenger in a vehicle on one of our side streets,” Davis told reporters at the scene.- info provided is victim- Duty Inspector will update media, location and time will be announced
