A 20-year-old Brampton man has died after an early morning shooting in Vaughan.
York Regional Police officers said they were called to the parking lot of an Ikea store in the area of Interchange Way and Highway 7 at around 3:30 a.m. on Saturday following reports of gunshots.
When they arrived, investigators said a man was found suffering from critical gunshot wounds. He was taken to a trauma centre in life-threatening condition.
However, in an update from investigators Saturday evening, they said the victim — identified as Moses Alphonso “M.J.” Wright — died earlier in the day.
No suspect description was released in the update, but officers appealed for information relating to the incident.
“Investigators continue to urge potential witnesses in the area at the time of the incident to please come forward to speak with police,” the statement said, adding they’re also looking for dashcam or surveillance video from the area.
