One man is dead and a suspect remains at large following a Saturday afternoon shooting in Kitchener.
At around 3:55 p.m., Waterloo Regional Police received a report of a shooting at 49 Ardelt Ave., the home of A Better Tent City, which provides tiny homes to those experiencing chronic homelessness.
According to police, when officers arrived they found a man with “injuries consistent with a gunshot wound.”
The victim, a 39-year-old man, was taken to an out-of-region hospital where he later died.
Investigators believe this was a targeted incident and are looking for a suspect described as a male, wearing a black coat, light-coloured pants and black shoes.
