Gun-toting tow truckers bring their shooting feud to South Etobicoke

March 7, 2025 by Toronto Newswire

No one is reported to have been shot in a tow truck shooting near Sherway Mall.

The tow truck wars has moved to South Etobicoke where a third shooting took place in a span of two days.

Police are investigating after shots were fired in front of a tow yard on March 5 just before 10 p.m. in the area of The West Mall and The Queensway, near Sherway Mall Gardents.

It was the third tow truck-related shooting in just over 24-hours. Most of the incidents have occurred in the Scarborough area.

No injuries were reported but police said they found “evidence of gunfire” at the scene.

Police said a suspect fled the scene in a vehicle. No suspect or vehicle description has been released.

A tow truck destroyed in another incident in Toronto last year.

Two other tow truck-related shootings were reported in Toronto late March 4.

At around 10:20 p.m., two people were shot at a tow yard near Weston Road and St. Clair Avenue West.

A man in his 50s suffered life-threatening injuries, while the other victim – a man in his 20s – was seriously injured, but is expected to survive.

About an hour later, a tow truck driver, also identified as a man in his 20s, was shot while sitting in a car wash bay at a gas station in Scarborough.

He was transported to hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

Police said there have been five firearm discharges and eight shootings linked to the tow truck industry this year.
