‘So devastating’: Man fatally shot in Mississauga parking lot, local business owners in shock

A man in his 40s is dead following a shooting at a parking lot in an industrial area of Mississauga.

Peel Regional Police officers were called to Tranmere Drive and Telford Way, near Dixie and Derry roads, just before noon on Wednesday.

Paramedics transported the man to a local hospital with critical injuries, where he was later pronounced dead.

It appears multiple shots were fired. One bullet also pierced the window of an office across the street.

An eyewitness tells CityNews he is “feeling a bit lucky” after multiple shots were fired, with one bullet coming through the front window of their office.

“We were inside our office, and we were just about to have breakfast. I heard a bang, and then I saw the glass of the window, a bullet penetrated through the blind, and we just found it inside our office.”

There are several businesses in the area, including trucking companies.

Another eyewitness tells CityNews they assisted the shooting victim and recognized the man, believing that he owned a nearby business in the plaza.

“I saw the glass of the window, and the bullet got penetrated [through] the blinds,” the eyewitness said. “We found it inside our office.”

There is no word on suspects or the circumstances that led to the shooting, but police believe this was an isolated incident.
