The victim was rushed to hospital but was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Three other victims were then located in the general vicinity. Police say those victims sustained gunshot wounds and are all in non-life threatening condition.
According to Const. Rachel Gibbs, the townhouse where the shooting is known to police.
“We have received multiple calls in the past to this address for various reports. It is believed that there may have been some after-hours activity going on at this address we are investigating that,” she told CP24 at the scene on Saturday.
