An adult male had been shot and was pronounced dead on the scene.
"We have no suspect information to provide at this time," said Peel Police Constable Mandeep Khatra in a video from the scene.
Police had no updates on possible suspects as of Thursday morning and haven't yet identified the victim of this shooting.

"We had a feeling it was some type of shooting. Kept hearing sirens go by," they wrote.
As their investigation continues, PRP has asked anyone who was in the area at the time of the shooting to come forward.
A police spokesperson told Narcity officers will likely remain on the scene for most of the day Thursday.
"Because it's such a busy area and we've isolated so many vehicles, it might take all day," said Constable Sarah Patten.
