Peel Regional Police say the fatal shooting of a man on Highway 410 earlier this month was a case of mistaken identity and another man shot days later was the intended target.
“Investigators have concluded that both of these incidents, which occurred on Highway 410, are related … These shootings were not random incidents,” police said in a statement late Friday afternoon.
On Nov. 13 before 1 a.m., police said officers were called to the northbound lanes of Highway 410 near Courtney Park Drive in Mississauga. After emergency crews arrived, 23-year-old Jason Ramkishun was found in his vehicle in a ditch. Paramedics rushed Ramkishun to hospital where he later died.
