“Police responded to a call of a shooting in the area of East 31st Avenue and Inverness Street. When officers arrived, they found a vehicle on East 31st Avenue near Ross Street that contained two men who had been shot,” Fincham said. “One of the men was pronounced dead at the scene. The other occupant of the vehicle was taken to hospital in critical condition.”

He said both major crime and the gang crime unit are working at the scene and expected to be there through the night.

I have heard from sources that one of the dead is a high-profle gangster who was arrested a few years ago with his brother and cousin.

“The investigation is ongoing and there are no further details to share at this time,” he said in a release.

No arrests have been made.
