It is not clear what charges, if any, that individual will face. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Const. Laurie McCann told reporters at the scene that the homicide appears to have been \u201ctargeted,\u201d though she said that it is too early to speculate about a possible motive. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cI can tell you it is not a random shooting. This is a targeted shooting,\u201d McCann said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">McCann added that police are unclear on when the shooting actually took place. She said that it is possible it could have happened anytime during the overnight hours. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">She said that officers are currently canvassing for possible video surveillance footage and are also interested in speaking with anyone who may have dashcam footage from the area. <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cNo evidence is too small,\u201d she said. \u201cYou can catch from people\u2019s vehicles people walking, vehicles leaving the parking lot, people walking through the parking lot so every little bit will help the investigators in this case.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">HOMICIDE:<br \/>&#8211; Kennedy Rd and Matheson Blvd, in Mississauga<br \/>&#8211; Male victim located with signs of trauma<br \/>&#8211; Pronounced deceased<br \/>&#8211; Suspect(s) fled area<br \/>&#8211; Appears to be targeted<br \/>&#8211; C\/R at 8:34 a.m.<br \/>&#8211; PR260141876<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Peel Regional Police (@PeelPolice) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PeelPolice\/status\/2048785193083851099?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">April 27, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One man is dead and another is in custody following a shooting at a surveillance equipment store in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":632338,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[712,49,48,44],"class_list":["post-632337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-apple-news","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=632337"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/632337\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/632338"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=632337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=632337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=632337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
