A 29-year-old man is dead after a shooting in Brampton, Peel police say.

Officers were called to the area of Vivians Crescent and Stokes Road, near Chinguacousy Road and Queen Street West just after 7 p.m. Thursday.

When they arrived they found a man inside a car suffering from gunshot wounds. He was transported to a trauma centre in critical condition, where he was later pronounced dead.

“Right now the suspect or suspects, we have no information right now to provide to the public,” said Const. Tyler Bell-Morena. “What I can say is that there is speculation that there may have been a vehicle fleeing the scene but we cannot confirm at this time that that is suspect or just members of the public fleeing gunfire.”

Police say they don’t believe this was a random shooting and that the individual may have been targeted.

No suspect information has been made available.
