An 18-year-old Barrie man is dead after a shooting unfolded in Toronto’s west end overnight Tuesday.

Police said officers received a call at 12:56 a.m. for the sound of gunshots near Martin Grove Road and Finch Avenue West in Etobicoke.

Det.-Sgt. Sandra Arruda said the shooting happened at a residential complex on Pittsboro Drive, which is near the Elmbank Community Centre at 10 Rampart Rd. Officers found a male victim near the community centre. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
