Case of ‘mistaken identity’ leaves man seriously injured in Brampton shooting

A man has been seriously injured in a shooting in Brampton that police say is a case of mistaken identity.

Peel police say around 1:30 p.m. on Saturday they found a man inside a vehicle outside their residence on Inder Heights Drive near Mayfield Road suffering from gunshot wounds.

Paramedics say they transported a 29-year-old to a trauma centre where he is listed in serious but stable condition.

“Investigators believe at this preliminary time that this is a case of mistaken identity,” said Cst. Tyler Morena of the targeted-style shooting.

Police say they do not yet know if they are looking for one or more suspects only that they fled the scene in a stolen black Honda Civic bearing the license plate DBDC 720.
