Toronto police have identified a 30-year-old man who was fatally shooting in the city’s north end Thursday evening.

Police said emergency crews were called to a residential area on Don Mills Road near Steeles Avenue East at around 7:30 p.m. after receiving multiple calls from people who heard gunshots.

A spokesperson said the victim was taken to a local hospital by friends in life-threatening condition where he was later pronounced dead.

He has been identified as Michael Huynh.

On Friday morning, Det. Sgt. Keri Fernandez said they are not sure how many suspects they are looking for and are still in the preliminary stages of the investigation.

Investigators said they are looking to identify the driver of a flat black matte 2016 Audi RS7.

“The victim did have a reason for being here. He did know people in the area, but he wasn’t from this building,” Fernandez added.

Investigators are asking anyone who might know whose vehicle it is to contact police at 416-808-7400 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477.
