One man dead after suspected targeted shooting inside Brampton home; suspects sought
Anonymous
Police in Brampton say one adult man died after a shooting inside a home near Sandalwood Parkway and Crown Victoria Drive, with officers called just after 7 p.m. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, and investigators say at least two male suspects fled in a dark four-door sedan. Police are treating it as a potentially targeted incident, though they have not confirmed whether the victim was the intended target, and they say the victim was not associated with the residence. Investigators also reported that several people were inside the home at the time of the shooting. Authorities say the investigation is still in its early stages, including identifying the next of kin, and they believe there is no information indicating the suspects are nearby or that the shooting was random.
