Peterborough police have released more details about a shooting incident that took place on Park Street South on Wednesday afternoon (April 20).
At a media conference on Thursday, police said a 31-year-old Mississauga man died as a result of the shooting, which is now being investigated as a homicide.
At around 1 p.m. on Wednesday, police received a 9-1-1 call from home at 124 Park Street South between Princess and Romaine. After arriving, police found two male victims — a 31-year-old and a 29-year-old, both of Mississauga — with gunshot wounds.
Both victims were taken to Peterborough Regional Health Centre, where the 31-year-old man succumbed to his injuries. The 29-year-old man sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was treated and released.
Police are seeking four male suspects in the shooting, all between 20 and 30 years old, who police say may be from out of town. Police say there is no risk for public safety at this time, as they believe the two victims and the four suspects are associated with each other.
Police are continuing the investigation and will release more details when available.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Detective Constable Mike Penney at 705-876-1122 x232 or anonymously on the Peterborough Police Crime Line at 705-876-1122 x555 or at Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.stopcrimehere.ca.
