While the name of the victim had been circulating since the killing, which occurred in broad daylight, Peel Regional Police (PRP) formally identified him as 51-year-old Harjeet Singh Dhadda.

In a statement, PRP said the victim "was approached by the suspect and shot multiple times while in a parking lot near Tranmere Drive and Telford Way in Mississauga."

He later succumbed to the injuries sustained. The suspects fled in a 2018 Black Dodge Challenger, which was recovered shortly following the incident.
