Police have identified a man who died after a drive-by shooting in Etobicoke early Monday morning.

At a press conference on Monday, investigators said 27-year-old Jamahl Darling was injured in a shooting in the area of Finch Avenue and Highway 27 at approximately 4:30 a.m.

Toronto Police Supt. Rob Taverner told media the shots appeared to have been fired from one vehicle to another, as both travelled east on Finch.

Darling, investigators say, was in the passenger’s seat of the targeted vehicle.

“There was some type of an altercation that took place and there was a number of shots fired and two people were hurt,” Taverner said.

At least 17 shots were fired, police say. Eight of them went through the car’s passenger-side window and anther six went through the car’s hood and windshield.

It is unclear how many times Darling was struck.

The female driver of the vehicle, who was wounded herself, drove Darling to the nearby Finch site of the Humber River Hospital. However, the hospital has not provided emergency services since Oct. 18.

An ambulance was called and paramedics found Darling without any vital signs. He was rushed to the Humber River Hospital campus at Wilson Avenue for emergency treatment, where he was pronounced dead.

Officers said the woman was also injured, but has since been released from hospital with minor injuries from a gunshot wound to the leg.

Police have provided few details on the shooting, but a grey Honda Accord peppered with bullet holes was seen Monday morning outside of the hospital on Finch.

The suspect’s car is described as a dark-coloured SUV or crossover, and was last seen heading east on Finch Avenue. Police believe there is more than one suspect.

The shooting is the second in less than two weeks in the Rexdale neighbourhood, which is largely populated by Humber College students.

On Nov. 17, a 26-year-old man was shot dead in his car in the area of Humber College Boulevard and Highway 27.

Homicide investigators have been notified, and anyone with more information is asked to contact officers at 416-808-2300 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-8477 (TIPS).
