Global News confirmed the address where the shooting took place on Mayfield Road has been linked to illegal trucking, though police did not say if there are indications the shooting is in any way related to the trucking operations.

OPP Acting Sgt. Joe Brisebois told Global News Tuesday officers also can’t confirm whether the victims were the intended targets.

“Our investigators are currently looking into every possible scenario,” Brisebois said.

Investigators are seeking dashcam footage from both the scenes of the shooting and the subsequent vehicle fire around the time of the incidents.

Anyone who saw the suspect vehicle or has video footage of it in Caledon or anywhere in Peel Region, from 5 p.m. to midnight on Nov. 20, was also asked to contact officers.
