The victim was at the Glen Road entrance to Sherborune TTC station in St. James Town at 5 p.m. when he was shot several times.
An off-duty paramedic at the scene attempted to treat him and then he was rushed to St. Michael’s Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.Vasudev’s brother told CP24 he was a student at Seneca College and was taking the subway to his job when he was killed.“We are shocked & distressed at the unfortunate killing of Indian student Kartik Vasudev in a shooting incident in Toronto yesterday,” The Consulate General of India wrote in a statement posted on Twitter on Friday.
WTF is wrong with GTA. when will police act on this issue? We need answers!!
Ajaybis rashtrapatibhvn why has the family not yet received the body of the victim. The silence by the consulate of India in this matter is deadly and deafening. Please stand up for your citizens!
think we should wait till we get the facts on this before passing judgment/ opinion on the matter. whether it's targeted or random no1 deserve to die in that way. all the best to the family the living is always the ones the suffer the most
that’s literally across the street from TorontoCGI sad but not surprised, sherbourne sub been full of shady people & addicts. rip mate🙏🏻
Tragic. This reminds me of that random shooting years ago, where two young men were killed while in their SUV, about to leave a friend’s apartment. The killer was never found. A young woman survived by ducking down in the back seat, the shooter never saw her.
So tragic 😥
Gun in TO. What a surprise. Black man is the culprit description. Jezzzzz no cameras at a station ? Best you can do. Really.
This was hate crime TPSOperations OntarioPolice . A mugging gone wrong would not result in so many gun shots. Please bring the perpetrators to book In no time
This is so heartbreaking 💔🙏🏽
I pray for him and his family. And I see a lot of outrage rightfully so. I just hope people would show the same outrage when black ppl are shot and killed
😶 no words… just unbelievable.. condolences to his family.. can we please stop this insanity
That neighborhood is literal garbage
This is terrible. Poor guy. May he R.I.P. What is happening to our amazing city 😭
RIP, looks like someone tried to Rob him and he did resists and thief as usual shoot him,what else new in toronto,
RIP. This is sad.
Not random… My opinion 🤷♀️
This is so sad…
This is so sad rip
DOWN TOWN Area of TORONTO has become very Dangerous. No SURETY OF SAFETY. Maximum Crime Cases are reported from Downtown only. END THE GUN CULTURE IN CANADA WITHOUT SHOWING ANY MERCY. A young student who just arrived 3 Months ago has been killed. BIG SHAME FOR POLICE & Government

Very SAD NEWS for all Immigrants. A brilliant Youth from INDIA lost his life due to GUN CULTURE in Toronto. May God rest his soul.
You can thank the hippie liberals for the revolving door justice system. The shooter is most likely on some probation, or fail to comply, and has many previous criminal charges. But hey, according to the hippies everyone deserves a second chance, even sociopaths.
Such a sad story for a bright light cut short. Rest In Peace
this is so sad 😔
This is just sooo very sad. Someone new to our country and this is how we welcome him.
Terrible news and so sad.. A young life denied..RIP ..
Agreed. This is not random. Shot seven times is a targeted message…

'Black Male'
JohnTory focus on these internal issues, forget the refugees right now, Toronto is getting more and more dangerous day by day. fordnation
This is really not good! Very sad! My sympathy to this young man's family.
Being shot 7 times isn’t a random shooting, it’s targeted and personal…someone was angry
This is equally as sad as all the other victims of gun violence. Bullets can find any person from any walk of life. Condolences to this family and the countless other families who have lost their loved ones only to be glossed over as criminals. This violence affects everyone
Wow!
Now Toronto is not a safe city
Why would someone shoot a Dude like that? Or is this something from back home
This totally saddens me!!!
My sincere condolences to the family. Om Shanti🙏
So sad. R I P Om Shanti Shanti Shanti
Another black male murdered someone in our city. When will politicians address the issue regarding out of control black violence?
This is shocking and devastating to his family.
Yall should thank Mayor Tory and PM Trudeau for the proliferation of banned guns in this city. 👌🙌👏
Tragic 😥
This looks like it’s not even related to any gang. As a student in Toronto, this really puts doubts in my head about the safety of students who sacrifice so much to come here for a better future. My condolences to his family. I cannot imagine what they’re going through.
Very sad. May he RIP and condolences to his family.
TorontoPolice needs to make this street safer!!
Why he was just starting new chapter of his life 💔 prayers for the family💔💔
Canada is not safe at all for Indian students anymore 😓every next week Indian student .. what’s going on .. So sad ..May his soul Rest In Peace 🙏Om Shanti
😢
💔so sad
Toronto is becoming a scary place to live in.
Omg my heart goes out to this young mans family and shame on toronto clean up those damn drug and crime infested streets smdh
Feel angry and sad. Criminal friendly justice system has to change.
RIP Kartik, so unfair. May God give strength to family to bear with huge loss.
Very sorry, condolences to his family and friends.
Looks like a member of Menudo
This sone stupid shit
refreshingx Toronto is bullshit how does someone get murdered at 5pm at a public station.
If only he had just stayed in India he’d be alive today.
My condolences to his family.
😔😞
Humans have been waiting for years to come in this country through the right does some jump ahead of the line and get in?
So sad, tragic, my condolences
So sad 💔🙏🏾
So sad.
Would be interested to know if this was random (which is scary) or if there was something more to it (prior interaction/dispute etc)
Fits. It's right beside the Indian Consulate.
RIP to the victim and condolences to his family. 🙏🙏
Too bad. Looks like a good guy. Shit area of Toronto
Condolences to the family for this needless death
This is total crap. Leave. People. Alone. He was just starting his life. RIP Kartik
around 'transit users' never relax
So was this random?
Maybe not gang related but either a robbery gone wrong or inside job...🤔🤔🙏
What was the reason? Before this we had gang shootings but this doesn't look like that so its a new low if it's random shooting.
This is unacceptable, JohnTory move your ass and stop worrying about the World Cup or helping ur buddies at Rogers.
Welcome to JohnTory’s world class sanctuary city, don’t forget your bulletproof vests!
Lost one potential home buyer, market will crash
My condolences to the family
Wtf is the motive for such a rash shooting smh 🤦
“Police said the suspect in the shooting is a Black male standing five-foot-six to five-foot-seven inches tall with a medium build.” Shocker!
He wuz a good boy!
Dang
this guy wasn't a gangbanger.. so what was this? gang initiation? teens with guns looking to have fun
Diversity is our strength
God Bless Kartik Vasudev! So unfair! 😢🙏
