A Malton house party turned deadly after one man was gunned down early today.Emergency crews were called to Monica Dr. near Goreway Rd. in Mississauga's Malton community after they received several reports of shots being fired.
When they arrived, officers found a man suffering from an "undisclosed number of gunshot wounds," said Const. Adam Minnion.
He was rushed to Etobicoke General Hospital in critical condition but was later pronounced dead.
Homicide investigators continued to investigate the scene this morning.
No arrests have been made and no suspect descriptions have been released.
There were plenty of people at the party and many fled before police had a chance to speak to them, said Minnion, who is appealing for those potential witnesses to come forward.
Even if you do not think you saw anything important, it could be a key part of the investigation, Minnion said.
Despite reports that several shots were fired, Minnion said there is no evidence at the moment to suggest there was more than one victim.
The death marks Peel's 13th homicide of the year.
The victim's identity will not be released until family members are notified.
In November 2007, 23-year-old David Latchana was gunned down at "Paulette's Place," a booze can on the same street as Sunday's shooting. Police have not been able to confirm whether the shooting happened at the same place.
Anyone with information is asked to call homicide detectives at 905-453-2121 ext. 3205.
