One man is dead and another male victim is fighting for his life after a Monday afternoon double shooting in Scarborough that included separate crime scenes several blocks apart.

Toronto Police Duty Insp. Jonathan Rose told reporters at the scene that officers originally responded to an unknown trouble call at 3:16 p.m. in the Victoria Park-Hwy. 401 area and found a male victim without vital signs suffering from gunshot wounds.

The scene was near a TD Bank branch, which was cordoned off with crime scene tape.

Rose said both incidents were related, but did not offer any other details.
