Police are searching for suspects after two men were killed in separate incidents in Toronto overnight.
The first incident took place near Allen Road and Lawrence Avenue West just before midnight on Monday. Responding officers found a man in his 20s suffering from gunshot wounds.
The victim was transported to hospital where he succumbed from his injuries.
Shortly after, police were called to St. Clair Avenue West and Jane Street for reports of a stabbing. There, they located an adult male with stab wounds. Life-saving measures were performed but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Toronto police’s homicide unit has taken charge of both investigations, said Duty Insp. Todd Jocko, speaking to reporters Tuesday morning.
The investigations are still in their early stages, Jocko said, and police are looking to speak to any possible witnesses, including anyone with dashcam footage from the area.
