Toronto Police searching for two by Shops at Don Mills parking lot shooting, Black Lives Matter

TORONTO - Toronto Police are hunting two men following a daytime shooting at an upscale North York shopping complex.

Police were called to Shops at Don Mills, in the Lawrence Ave. E.-Don Mills Rd. area, around 3 p.m. Sunday after receiving a call about a shooting.

“Officers arrived on scene and found a man with injuries and he was taken to hospital,” Const. Allyson Douglas-Cook said Monday.

The victim, a man in his 30s, had been shot once and was in non-life-threatening condition.

“We have possibly two male suspects who were seen fleeing the area on foot, and then shortly after, a dark-coloured sedan — possibly a Mercedes — was seen fleeing the area southbound on Don Mills,” Douglas-Cook said.

The shooting took place in the plaza’s parking lot and the wounded victim went into a nearby restaurant, where emergency personnel were called, she said.

Before gunshots rang out, an altercation had reportedly taken place outside a Jack Astor’s restaurant located inside the complex.
