Three individuals have been charged by Peel police in connection with a deadly shooting that occurred in a Brampton mall parking lot earlier this month. Peel Regional Police announced in a press release that two 20-year-olds from Brampton and a 25-year-old from Toronto are now facing first-degree murder charges in relation to the incident.
The shooting took place on Dec. 8, resulting in the death of 25-year-old Jaskarn Dhaliwal of Brampton, who was shot and killed in a vehicle near Shoppers World on Main Street. Multiple gunshots were fired, and the suspects fled before law enforcement arrived at the scene.
