Toronto police have identified a man who was shot dead inside a Rexdale apartment building in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Officers were called to an apartment building at 11 Bergamot Ave., near Islington Avenue and Rexdale Boulevard, shortly after midnight.

Police said they arrived to find Jordan Telfer, 21, in the lobby suffering from two gunshot wounds.

Authorities said it's unclear what path the victim took inside the apartment building before collapsing in one of its hallways. The man was rushed to hospital but died of his injuries overnight.

Officers dusted the hallway for fingerprints on Saturday and found a handprint close to the lobby. Further prints were taken from outside a door near the building's west stairwell.

Police will not say if the victim lived in the building, but are appealing for more information to help in their investigation.

"We're looking for anybody that may have seen anything, may have heard anything, obviously gunshots, anybody that may have seen someone running from the scene," said Det. Doug Dunstan.

Alicia Jno-Baptiste, a resident of the building, said the shooting has left residents shaken.

"It's frightening for everybody. It's very sad… for a young man to lose his life like that," she said.

Erick Flores, another tenant, said sometimes windows or doors get broken into but "that's all. Nothing big or serious, it's the first time" someone was shot.

No arrests have been made in the case, Toronto's 21st homicide of 2011. A post-mortem examination was scheduled for Sunday.

Witnesses are asked to call the homicide squad at 416-808-7400 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS.
