Toronto police have identified a man who died early Monday after a shooting in North York just a few hundred metres from where another man was gunned down early Sunday.
Jibri Husani James, 39, of Toronto, was pronounced dead at the scene on Shoreham Court, near Shoreham Drive, in the Jane Street and Steeles Avenue area, according to Toronto police.
Officers were called shortly after midnight to the area for reports of gunshots. When emergency responders arrived, they found James lying on the ground of a townhouse complex, suffering from serious injuries, police said.
Homicide detectives have taken over the investigation.
According to police, a vehicle was seen fleeing the area with a driver and passenger at the time of the shooting.
The fatal shooting is the second in the neighbourhood in as many days.
