Police are asking for the public’s help after a 30-year-old man showed up at Toronto East General Hospital Saturday night, Oct. 13, with multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators received a call reporting the sound of gunshots near Blake Street and Boultbee Avenue Saturday at 10:06 p.m.

According to police, prior to being shot, the victim was retrieving some personal property at a residence at 10 Boultbee Ave.

He left that address, travelled east of the building and north along a pathway when he saw a man standing against a wall, police said.

The victim was found at the nearby hospital.

His injuries are classified as serious, but not life threatening.

The suspect is only described as a male, 5’5”. He was last seen wearing a grey hoodie, grey track pants and white running shoes.
