A man is dead, and police are searching for a suspect after a fatal shooting in an indoor parking garage in downtown Toronto on Wednesday evening.
Emergency crews were called to the garage at the Aura building on Gerrard Street East near Yonge Street at around 7:17 p.m., where they found a man suffering from gunshot wounds.
He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police say the victim was shot “multiple times,” and investigators believe it was a targeted shooting.
The victim was identified as 27-year-old Parmvir Chahil of Windsor. A photo of the deceased was released.
No suspect descriptions have been provided at this time.
Victim was involved in alleged 2018 assault on man with autism
CityNews 680 has confirmed that Chahil was one of the men accused in connection with the beating of a man with autism in Mississauga in 2018.
That incident happened at a bus station on March 13, 2018.
A video of the attack showed the victim sitting at the bottom of a stairwell, putting on rollerblades, when three young men approached from behind and began to punch and kick him.
A Canada-wide arrest warrant was issued for Chahil, who faced one count of aggravated assault and included a no-contact order with the man who was beaten.
Chahil was released on $25,000 bail and on strict house arrest conditions, with his father serving as surety.
