Man pronounced dead after Mississauga shooting

A man was pronounced dead following a shooting on Friday morning in a Mississauga hotel parking lot, according to CP24.

Police responded to a call around 8 a.m. at the Monte Carlo Inn near Wharton Way. They found the victim sitting in the front seat of a vehicle parked at the scene.

“We are still trying to determine the identity of the victim and that will help us determine if he was an occupant of the hotel or not,” said Const. Kyle Villers around 11 a.m.

“The victim is still present. The coroner will be attending to do his examination of the body and the surrounding area.”

“Someone was arrested at the scene here,” Villers said. “They have not been charged at this time so we will not be discussing any further information about that person at this time.”

“Investigators are still trying to determine what, if any, part that this person played in this incident.”

Police say that there are many officers present at the scene while the shooting is being investigated.

A white car with multiple bullet holes through the driver’s window can be seen at the location using aerial footage.

“We are asking anyone who has any further information – that may have heard any disturbance in this area from a period of time from last night until early this morning when police arrived on scene – we ask that they contact police with that information or if they feel more comfortable to contact Crime Stoppers,” Villers said.

Police have not yet released any information on possible suspects.
