One person is dead and two others are injured after a shooting in a parking lot at Fairview Mall on Monday, Toronto police say.
Duty Insp. Mike Hayles, spokesperson for the Toronto Police Service, called the incident a "very brazen daytime" shooting. He appealed for witnesses to come forward to police.
Hayles said the shooting happened in the area of Sheppard Avenue East and Don Mills Road. Officers were alerted to the shooting at about 4:10 p.m.
Toronto paramedics took two victims to hospital, where one was pronounced dead. The second victim was suffering from life-threatening injuries.
The third victim made their own way to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Hayles said.
"We do have sufficient information to lead us to believe that the individual who was dropped off at hospital was present here at the scene during the interaction," he said.
All three victims suffered gunshot wounds.
Police's homicide squad has taken over the investigation, but Hayles said it is in its early stages.
Hayles said police would like to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time and who has dashboard camera footage of Sheppard Avenue East and Highway 404 after 4 p.m. that may have capture vehicles leaving the parking lot.
