Video footage and reports of suspicious activity could help investigators piece together a fatal shooting near Rathburn Road and The East Mall, Toronto police say in a briefing carried by CP24.

Inspector Jeff Allington says officers responded late in the afternoon and found a male with gunshot wounds. They administered life-saving measures before he was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The Homicide and Missing Persons Unit has taken over the investigation. Allington appeals to anyone with footage or information from the area to come forward.

The briefing leaves several basic questions unanswered. Asked about suspects, Allington says the only description available to him is of two males wearing dark clothing. At that stage, the victim had not been formally identified, and police could offer only an estimated age.

A later CP24 upload provides an important update: police have identified the victim as 18-year-old Malik Abass. That follow-up says two suspects are still being sought.
