A man is dead following a shooting in Brampton on Tuesday afternoon, police say.
Officers with Peel Regional Police were called to the parking lot of a plaza at Bramalea Road and Dewside Drive, near Sandalwood Parkway East, just after 1 p.m.
Paramedics tell CityNews the victim was pronounced dead at the scene. He has not yet been identified and police did not indicate he had any affiliation to any of the area businesses.
Investigators say the shooting happened in the “fairly busy” plaza while the victim was inside a vehicle and witnesses say multiple shots were heard.
According to 680 NewsRadio’s Kyle Hocking, who flew over the scene, the entire parking lot is cordoned off and everyone within the police tape is giving a statement to police before they’re allowed to leave.
Police are currently reviewing video to determine an exact number of suspects, but no further details about the suspects has been released.
Investigators add they believe this was an isolated incident.
