The shooting happened in a parking area near the entrance to a highrise condo complex on Eva Road, near The West Mall and Burnhamthorpe Road. Emergency crews were called to the scene at 12:47 a.m.

When police arrived, they found a man lying on the ground, unresponsive and suffering from gunshot wounds. Toronto paramedics took him to a local hospital in an emergency run.
