Police say two brothers shot during a home invasion and kidnapping in Hamilton early Thursday morning were trying to help their father, who investigators believe was the target of the deadly attack in the city’s Mount Hope neighbourhood.
Shortly before 3 a.m., officers were called to a reported shooting at a home in the area of Glancaster and Dickenson roads.
Two brothers were located at the scene suffering from gunshot wounds and were rushed to hospital for treatment.
One of the victims, who has now been identified by investigators as 21-year-old Hasnain ‘Nano’ Ali, was subsequently pronounced dead.
Their father, 63-year-old Faqir Ali, who police say was abducted and beaten by the assailants, was found hours later on Beach Boulevard, where he had been dumped by his captors.
