Toronto police have released the names of two victims who died of injuries suffered in a double shooting in the West Queen West area over the weekend.

Police have identified the 26-year-old victims as Abdiweli Abdullahi and Mohamed Abdiwal Dirie. 

Police said they responded to a call at around 7 a.m. Sunday after two people were shot inside a 22nd-floor apartment unit on Lisgar Street, in the Queen Street West and Dovercourt Road area.

Both Abdullahi and Dirie were pronounced dead at the scene.

In a news release on Sunday afternoon, police said they were looking for four persons of interest. All four were described as "dark-skinned men in their mid-twenties."

The statement described one of the men as East African, possibly Somali, who speaks with a "distinct southern American drawl."

Police said they are looking for two cars involved in the shooting. One vehicle is a silver compact car, which may have suffered damage as it fled the scene. The second vehicle is described as a brown compact.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-1400.
