Toronto police have identified the victim of a shooting at Yonge-Dundas Square late Wednesday night as 18-year-old Israel Edwards from Pickering.

Edwards was shot and killed at one of Toronto’s busiest intersections, the latest in a rash of shootings across the city. Police said they responded to the call at 11:09 p.m. and found Edwards in serious condition with no vital signs.

Homicide Det. Stephen Henkel said he died of his injuries in hospital.

Police have not released any information about suspects.

Henkel said police are seeking witnesses from the many people who were in the square at the time of the shooting and planned to check surveillance camera footage in the area.

There has been at least seven shootings across the city over the last three days, including the fatal shooting of a man in Yorkville Monday night.

“As Mayor, I am troubled by every act of violence in our city regardless of where it happens,” Mayor John Tory said in a statement Thursday.

“This morning, I spoke to Chief Mark Saunders about last night’s murder and other recent acts of violence in our city. I have been assured that Toronto Police are doing everything possible to bring the perpetrators of these despicable crimes to justice.”
