Toronto police say they have arrested a suspect in connection to the fatal shooting of a woman in Etobicoke Friday morning.<\/p>\n
Officers responded to reports of a shooting around 7:23 a.m. near Humberwood Boulevard and Rexdale Boulevard, Duty Insp. Scott Bradbury told reporters.<\/p>\n
He said police found a woman with a gunshot wound, but she was later pronounced dead at the scene despite life-saving measures.<\/p>\n
He said the shooting took place “outside in the public” and not at inside a home.<\/p>\n
Bradbury said no other details would be provided about the woman as next of kin have not yet been notified. <\/p>\n
Police said in a post on social media platform X that there were no outstanding suspects. <\/p>\n
Earlier, Bradbury said a male suspect was seen fleeing the scene and that police were trying to locate him. Police deployed several resources in their search, including drones and the K9 unit.<\/p>\n
Investigators believe the incident was targeted, Const. Shannon Eames said in an emailed statement. She said Toronto police’s emergency task force also attended the scene Friday morning. <\/p>\n
