BRAMPTON – An Indo-Canadian man was gunned down at a commercial plaza in Brampton last week in a gangland slaying similar to those common in the Vancouver lower mainland.

Thirty-year-old Amanjot Bains died after he was shot early Tuesday (Oct. 12) morning.

Peel Regional Police say they were called to Dixie Road and Peter Robertson Boulevard at 12:54 a.m. for a report of shots fired.

Peel paramedics found Bains in life-threatening condition suffering from what appeared to be a gunshot wound. 

He was rushed to a hospital trauma centre where he was later pronounced dead.

Investigators said the suspect may have fled the scene in a red vehicle.

"Based on the investigation, police are aware that several potential witnesses were in the area at the time of the shooting, but have not yet had the opportunity to speak with investigators," police said in a news release.

Investigators are appealing for witnesses to come forward.

Peel's homicide and missing persons bureaus are continuing to investigate.
