A man has died in a shooting outside a Rexdale housing complex early Monday morning, police say.

Toronto police received reports of gunshots around 12:30 a.m. outside a Toronto Community Housing complex at Orpington Crescent and Kendleton Drive.

Upon arrival, police located a 28-year-old man suffering life-threatening injuries from gunshot wounds. He died at the scene.

Toronto police Const. Rob North told media that several shooters were involved, and that they fled in a single motor vehicle.

The victim briefly “interacted” with the suspects before they opened fire, North said.

“He was confronted by a group of individuals who fired a round of shots at him.”

Police say they found 20 shell casings in the area, suggesting the shooting was targeted.

North said the victim does not have gang affiliations, and that the police do not know why he would have been targeted.

The area is closed off as police investigate.
