The Ajax man was found unconscious and suffering from gunshot wounds in the Go station parking lot of Westney Rd. S. – south of Hwy. 401 – around 11:30 p.m.
He was rushed to a trauma centre in Toronto where he succumbed to his injuries.
“Police continue to search for an outstanding suspect and are appealing to anyone with video footage, including dashcam or (security camera) video to please come forward,” Const. Emily Mitchell said in a statement released Wednesday. “Specifically, anyone with video footage between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m., as it is believed the shooting happened during this time.”
While not much is know about Little currently, he was in the news about 16 months ago when he was accused of assaulting two men while they were fishing in Duffin’s Creek – near Church St. S. and Hwy. 401 – in Pickering in the early hours of March 3, 2024.
“A male residing in a tent nearby approached the victims while brandishing a knife and making threats,” Durham cops alleged in a news release at the time, claiming the knife-wielding man “pushed one of the males into the creek.”
