One man is dead after he was shot in the head Tuesday afternoon in east end Toronto.

The shooting happened at around 12:30 p.m. in the Eglinton Avenue and Markham Road area. Police found his body on a driveway between two businesses.

Witnesses pointed police to a blue Honda believed to be the getaway vehicle.

Police are investigating a report that the suspect car crashed into another vehicle on Kingston Road shortly after the shooting.

The shooting prompted several schools in the area to go into lockdown as a precaution. Students will not be allowed out for lunch or for recess until police clear the area.

The man is Toronto's third murder victim in two days and the 59th homicide of the year.
