A university student from Brampton was killed when two shooters fired indiscriminately into a crowded plaza in North York last month in what police say was a 'cowardly act.'
"The suspect driver remained in the driver's seat as two shooters exited the vehicle and fired numerous rounds indiscriminately in the direction of the far parking lot in the east end of the plaza," Price told reporters on Saturday.
"This individual was a university student in the last days of the summer break," Price said. "So totally an unfortunate tragic circumstance that befell him."Meanwhile, the shooters returned to the vehicle and sped away. They were last seen travelling south on Weston Road. The suspect vehicle is a newer model white RAV4 with a black roof, black rims, tinted windows and believed to have a vanity plate."This cowardly act of these individuals firing a hundred-meter distance with pistols is completely ridiculous and dangerous to like dozens of people in that area at the time," the homicide detective said, noting that many stores were open at the time.
