Police in Peel Region are asking for the public’s help to locate a vehicle after a woman was recently found shot inside a car in Mississauga.
The incident happened on Sept. 10 near Mississauga Road and North Sheridan Way, just north of the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW).
Peel Regional Police said they were advised of the situation around 4 a.m. that day.
They said that the victim, who is 33 years old and was believed to be driving the vehicle, remains in the hospital. Her injuries are life-threatening, said police.
Speaking at a news conference shortly after the shooting, Const. Mandeep Khapra told reporters that the victim was with two other females at the time of the incident.

The vehicle may have minor damage on the front bumper, police said.
Police are “reminding the public to be mindful of any abandoned or suspicious vehicles in parking lots or side streets matching the suspect vehicle description” and are urging anyone who sees anything like that to contact them immediately.
