Waterloo regional police say a fatal shooting in Kitchener on Wednesday is now being investigated as a homicide.
Officers were called to the parking lot of a McDonald’s on Ottawa Street near River Road around 2 a.m. When they arrived, they found an injured man in his 20s. He was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Police initially held off on labelling the incident a homicide, calling it only a “sudden death.”
On Thursday, police confirmed the shooting is now being investigated as a homicide and investigators believe the shooting was targeted.
Police have not said if they are looking for a suspect.
On Wednesday morning, police tape could be seen surrounding the McDonald’s and adjacent parking lot, with a white SUV behind the tape.
The SUV had a flat rear tire and blood was visible inside on the passenger side and on the pavement nearby. Police remained tight lipped about what significance the vehicle played in the shooting.
