Many family members were seen on scene after the fatal shooting. They were heard screaming and sobbing while consoling one another.

Witnesses at the scene described what they heard at the time to CP24.

“I heard the sound of almost like ice breaking up and falling off of a roof – it sounded like that crackling sound,” Sue Flynn, a nearby resident, said.

“I went out front and an unmarked police car had come in and then my husband he went down the back and he saw the young man lying in the roadway.”

Her husband, Rob Simpson, said the male victim was “just lying on the ground.”

“I didn’t see him moving,” he said.
