Police were called around 11:45 p.m. to Carling Street, near King Street W., after the man’s body was found.

Police have yet to release any details but confirmed early Monday that an unidentified man who appears to be in his 20s was found dead with gunshot wounds.’

More details are expected to be released later today.

Pictures from the scene show a covered body on the road and a heavy police presence in the area.

Brown was among a group of less than a dozen people who had gathered at an apartment in a home on the northeast coroner of Sherman Avenue North and Case Street, one block north of Barton Street East.

Police are asking anyone with information on Sunday night’s homicide to please call 905-546-3874.
