Peel Regional Police say a 23-year-old man who died following a single-vehicle crash on Highway 410 in Mississauga early Tuesday morning was shot and the homicide unit has taken over the investigation.
The incident happened around 1 a.m. on the northbound lanes of the highway near Courtney Park Drive between Highway 403 and Highway 401.
Peel paramedics said they transported a man to a trauma centre without vital signs. He later succumbed to his injuries.
Police said a Honda Accord was located in a ditch and the man, identified as Jason Ramkishun from Brampton, was found suffering from a gunshot wound.
“We know around 1:30 a.m. the OPP was dealing with a single car into a ditch,” Const. Harinder Sohi said.
“The investigation later revealed that the car had been struck by bullets and the 23-year-old male inside was shot and killed also.”
Police said they are trying to piece together where exactly the shooting took place.
