1 dead, 1 under arrest following fatal shooting in Mississauga

One man is dead and police have arrested one suspect in connection with a fatal shooting in Mississauga on Friday night.

Peel Police were called to Hull Street near Scarboro Street, just west of Airport Road, around 8 p.m. following multiple calls for a disturbance and the sound of gunshots.

Three victims were located, two of which were suffering from gunshot wounds. They were transported to a trauma centre where a 21-year-old man from Brampton was pronounced dead. The other shooting victim was treated and released from hospital.

The third victim was treated by paramedics for a non-gunshot related injury and taken to a local hospital for additional treatment. He has since been released.

Investigators say this was the culmination of a series of incidents involving between 18 and 20 individuals that began around noon and continued throughout the day.

An 18-year-old from Mississauga, Jastaran Sandhu, has been charged with first-degree murder.

Investigators say they are looking for additional suspects and are appealing to anyone who was in the area to come forward.

“We know somebody knows who is responsible for this in that group and they need to come forward,” said Peel Regional Police Insp. Todd Leach.

“Gun violence will not be tolerated in the Region of Peel. We have a great success rate as far as our investigations are concerned. We will identify and find these people and they will be brought to justice.”
