A male victim was rushed to a trauma centre via emergency run after a shooting at the North York Sheridan Mall on Friday night.

Police say that the victim was found on the ground outside the back of the mall in the Jane Street and Wilson Avenue area at around 7:50 p.m.

The victim has life-threatening injuries, according to police.

It is not immediately clear where the shooting itself took place.

Last month, 22-year-old Jovane Clarke was shot dead after being chased inside the mall by three suspects, at least two of whom were armed.

Police said that the suspects ambushed Clarke after he returned to his car in the parking lot. One of the suspects then chased Clarke into the busy mall and fatally shot him.

The homicide remains unsolved.

Speaking with CP24 at the mall on Friday night, one woman said that she is concerned about an apparent surge in violence in the area.

"I feel like all of a sudden there is a change," she said. “I don’t know what it is but it never use to be like this. It is concerning. I had my kids with me here.”
