Investigators with the #4 District Criminal Investigations Bureau are releasing video and seeking suspects after shots were fired in a residential neighbourhood in Vaughan. On Friday, November 1, 2019, shortly before 2 a.m., York Regional Police were called to a residence on Cannes Avenue for a report of sound of gunshots. When officers arrived they located a vehicle with bullet holes in it at a residence being used as a short-term rental that had been rented out for a party. No one was physically injured.
The investigation has revealed that at approximately 1:30 a.m., there were multiple people shooting guns. A portion of the incident was captured on residential video surveillance which shows three men in a four-door white sedan. Two men got out of the vehicle and fired more than 20 gunshots down the street. A third man exited the vehicle from the passenger side and got into the driver’s seat. After the shooting, the suspects got back into the vehicle and drove away.
“It’s amazing that no one was injured or killed given the number of shots that were recklessly fired in this otherwise quiet neighbourhood,” said Chief Eric Jolliffe. “We continue to see that there are people using short-term rental houses for parties and their guests are bringing handguns and violence into York Region. Those choosing to illegally use guns will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”
Suspect Vehicle:
• Four-door white sedan
Investigators are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the shooting or anyone who was driving in the area at the time with dashcam footage to please come forward.
