After police and emergency officials arrived, life-saving measures were performed on the person but he was pronounced dead. Police said a second person was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The police force’s homicide unit is investigating, but a description of the suspects is not known at this time.
Bradbury said it’s believed the incident was localized and there’s no greater risk to the public.
Supt. Jack Gurr, unit commander for 31 Division, said in an interview that the area where the incident occurred is normally quiet.
“We rarely come in here for any real problems; there’s very few disturbances in this area, and so this is a very alarming situation for us,” Gurr said.
As police continue their investigation, Bradbury issued a warning to the suspects.
“For the people responsible for this murder, find a lawyer and turn yourselves in,” Bradbury said. “Our investigators are actively tracking information.”
