One man is dead and three people were injured following four separate shootings late Sunday night in Toronto.

Police said that gunshots were heard at about 11:55 p.m. in Scarborough near Washburn Way and Tapscott Rd., at Lester B. Pearson Collegiate Institute.

Venojan Suthesan, 21, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said Monday morning.

The Toronto District School Board tweeted that both Pearson Collegiate and Dr. Marion Hilliard Senior Public School will be closed for the day due to the ongoing police investigation.

Classes at Pearson are being relocated to Albert Campbell Collegiate Institute, while classes at Marion Hilliard will take place at Berner Trail Junior Public School.

“Classes for students who are bussed to Lester B. Pearson Collegiate Institute for special education programs are cancelled for today due to special circumstances and are not being relocated,” TDSB tweeted.

The city’s latest homicide happened as police were investigating three other shootings across Toronto in the span of 45 minutes.

First, police responded to a shooting at around 10:45 p.m. near Kensington Market, in the area of Dundas St. and Spadina Ave., after reports of gunshots.

When emergency services arrived, a man was found with a gunshot wound. Paramedics rushed the victim to hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

About 15 minutes later, police responded to a shooting in St. James Town near Sherbourne and Earl Sts., just north of Wellesley St. E., around 11 p.m. Sunday. Two men were rushed to hospital with minor injuries.

Police were called to a reported shooting at 11:30 p.m. in Scarborough near Chester Le Blvd. and Morecambe Gate, not far from Victoria Park Ave. and Finch Ave. E. No victims were found, police said, but there were shell casings at the scene.

No suspect information has been released for any of the shootings.
