A man is dead following a shooting in Richmond Hill.
York Regional Police say they were called to a residence on Leisure Lane in the area of Bathurst Street and Major Mackenzie Drive West around 6:30 p.m. Friday.
Police discovered a victim outside suffering from gunshot wounds. He was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, where he was pronounced dead, police said.
The victim’s identity is not being released until a post-mortem has been conducted.
“There’s at least two residences in question here,” said Sgt. Andy Pattenden. “It does appear that something transpired between those two residences. I can tell you that the victim, an adult male, was found outside one of those two residences suffering from gunshot wounds.”
Investigators said they are looking for a black, 2004-2008 Acura TL four-door sedan that was seen in the area at the time of the incident. The vehicle appeared to be dusty-looking and had tires that looked like they needed air.
“The license plate that was on the vehicle was stolen and did not belong with the suspect vehicle,” police said.
York police are looking for this vehicle they say may be connected to a homicide in Richmond Hill on Nov. 13, 2020.
