Toronto Police are searching for a 17-year-old who is wanted in connection with a shooting investigation.

An arrest warrant has been issued in connection with his alleged involvement in two shootings in August, police said in a news release.

The first shooting occurred Aug 19. in the area of Mt. Olive Drive and Kipling Avenue in Etobicoke, police said. Multiple suspects opened fire on residents who were outside.

Two victims were shot inside a townhouse complex and both sustained minor injuries, police told CBC News at the time.

Then, on the same day, three men were shot outside a residence in the area of Shoreham Court and Jane Street in North York.

Four armed suspects were involved in that shooting, police said. The three victims were taken to the hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries, police told CBC News on the day of the shooting.

Police say the teenager is also a suspect in a series of shootings in North York and Scarborough on Sept. 24. One man died and three others were injured.

Police are asking the public to come forward with any information.
