Peel police have arrested a Toronto man in connection with a kidnapping and shooting that left a victim seriously injured last year.

Investigators say the incident happened on March 10, where a victim was “forcibly taken” from the area of Hurontario Street and the QEW in Mississauga and held for several hours at a nearby location.

The victim was then transported to Toronto, where he was shot multiple times, police said.

It’s unclear if the victim survived, but police said they suffered “serious injuries” and was taken to a trauma centre.

After an extensive investigation, police identified the suspect as 33-year-old Liban Abdi Siyad from Toronto. He was arrested on Sunday and is facing multiple charges, including attempted murder using a firearm, kidnapping, and aggravated assault.

Siyad was held for a bail hearing at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton.

Police are asking anyone with information about this incident to contact investigators or leave an anonymous tip by calling Peel Crime Stoppers.
