Halton Regional Police say one man has died after he was shot outside an Oakville home.
Officers said they were called to Rebecca Street between Dorval Drive and Maurice Drive at around 11:15 p.m. for a possible shooting incident.
Det. Derek Davis told Global News that when police arrived on the scene they found a 19-year-old man outside his home.
“Officers arrived on scene to find an adult male in medical distress. That individual later succumbed to their wounds here at the scene,” he said.
“Police are treating this as a homicide investigation currently and are actively investigating.”
A press release sent out Saturday morning said officers believe the incident was targeted.
Insp. Ivan L’Ortye said police are searching for two suspects but have limited information on them at this time.
“The only information I have available on the suspects is that we’re looking for suspects that are late teens to early 20’s,” he said.
A post mortem is scheduled for Saturday and police suspect they’ll be on the scene for most of the day.
The homicide unit has taken over the investigation.
