A quiet Monday morning in Toronto’s vibrant Kensington Market was shattered by gunfire, leaving one man fighting for his life.
Police responded to urgent calls just before 2:40 a.m. near the intersection of Augusta Avenue and College Street, discovering a male victim struck by gunfire. Paramedics immediately transported the injured man to hospital, where his condition is currently listed as critical.
The victim’s age and the events leading up to the shooting remain unknown as investigators piece together the early morning chaos. Details are scarce, but the severity of his injuries suggests a violent encounter.
Before officers could arrive on the scene, two male suspects vanished into the city streets. Witnesses described both as Black men, one noticeably wearing a white jacket and jeans, the other clad in black.
The search for these individuals is now underway, as detectives appeal to the public for any information that could lead to their identification and apprehension. Anyone with knowledge of the incident is urged to come forward.
