One man is dead and another is in custody following a shooting at a surveillance equipment store in Mississauga.

It happened at Spy Depot Security in the area of Kennedy Road and Matheson Boulevard.

Police say that they were called to the store at around 8:30 a.m. for reports of a person who was unresponsive.

Police say that the victim, a 62-year-old man, was found with multiple gunshot wounds and was subsequently pronounced dead on scene.

Police have since arrested a male in his 70s in connection with the homicide. It is not clear what charges, if any, that individual will face.

Const. Laurie McCann told reporters at the scene that the homicide appears to have been “targeted,” though she said that it is too early to speculate about a possible motive.

“I can tell you it is not a random shooting. This is a targeted shooting,” McCann said.

McCann added that police are unclear on when the shooting actually took place. She said that it is possible it could have happened anytime during the overnight hours.

She said that officers are currently canvassing for possible video surveillance footage and are also interested in speaking with anyone who may have dashcam footage from the area.

“No evidence is too small,” she said. “You can catch from people’s vehicles people walking, vehicles leaving the parking lot, people walking through the parking lot so every little bit will help the investigators in this case.”
