19-year-old man dead after being shot by Toronto police in Mississauga: SIU
The Special Investigations Unit says the vehicle was linked to a firearms probe, and three other occupants were taken into custody after the shooting.
- A Toronto officer fatally shot a 19-year-old driver in Mississauga early Thursday, prompting Ontario's Special Investigations Unit to launch an investigation into the incident.
- Toronto officers tracked the Mercedes to Delfi Road as part of a firearms investigation, where three unmarked police vehicles collided with the vehicle carrying four occupants shortly after midnight.
- SIU spokesperson Monica Hudon confirmed one officer fired into the vehicle, striking the driver who died at the scene; investigators recovered two firearms from the Mercedes, though no gunfire exchange occurred.
- Three other vehicle occupants were taken into custody without injury, while another Toronto officer was hospitalized with minor injuries following the collision.
- The SIU assigned four investigators, three forensic investigators, and a collision reconstructionist to the case, as the agency invokes its mandate whenever police discharge firearms or actions result in death.
