A man has been arrested in connection with a fatal shooting in Brampton that left another man dead, Peel Regional Police say.

On Friday, officers responded to a report of a suspicious vehicle parked in a driveway of a residential area near St. Tropez Court and Millstone Drive at 12:55 a.m.

A man with “obvious signs of trauma” was found dead when officers arrived. In a news release issued Saturday, investigators said they will not be releasing the victim’s identity at the family’s request.

Police said they arrested a Brampton man in his 20’s late Friday evening but have not identified him. The accused has been charged with one count of first-degree murder.

“While the motive for the shooting remains under investigation, detectives are confident that this shooting was isolated to the individuals involved and does not appear to be random,” the release said.

Anyone with information about this investigation is asked to contact investigators.
