“We received numerous calls for the sounds of gunshots and when police arrived on scene they located a male with obvious signs of trauma,” Const. Caroline de Kloet said.

“He was transported to hospital, where he later died.”

The homicide unit is working on notifying next of kin.

Police are reviewing surveillance video but as of Wednesday morning hadn’t released any suspect information.

A woman who has lived next to the crime scene for years says while there are problems in the neighbourhood, a murder is new.

“I was in bed and heard noises. I thought it was fireworks because I had never heard a gun before,” Carol, who did not want her last name used, said.

“I went to my balcony and the sirens and police cars started coming and I knew. We can have problems here but not issues like this.”
