Toronto police are hoping surveillance video will help them track down several suspects wanted after a shooting in the parking lot of Yorkdale Shopping Centre left a young man dead on Saturday.
Michael Nguyen, 23, died, and another man was sent to hospital after a gunfire broke out between two groups in the parking lot of the busy mall just after 8 p.m.
Located in the city's north end near Highway 401, Yorkdale is one of Toronto's busiest shopping malls.
Officers arrived to find Nguyen — who police say was known to them — lying on the roadway outside of the mall. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The second victim, a 24-year-old man, is in stable condition in hospital and is expected to survive.
The mall reopened this morning at 10 a.m. ET.
"The police tape is down this morning, employees are starting to arrive, and it looks like business as usual at Yorkdale," said the CBC's Trevor Dunn.
Police said no shots were fired inside the mall, and no bystanders were hurt. They believe more than one gun was used in the shooting.
Toronto police Det. Robert North said that while this is Toronto's second deadly shooting at a mall within the past year, people should still feel safe.
"I don't think there should be a concern for the public," he said. "This was a very isolated incident between two groups. We're not talking about people who come here and shoot random people coming out for an evening with their family to the mall."
After the shooting, hundreds of vehicles in the parking lot remained cordoned off as police conducted their investigation. At least one vehicle was towed away from the lot by police on Saturday.
They released the remaining vehicles to their owners on Sunday afternoon.
Police will be reviewing hours of video footage captured by cameras inside and outside the mall. Police also say there were five or six people in the immediate area of the shooting, and investigators want to speak to them.
The violence on Saturday night is not the first time that a shooting has occurred on the mall property.
Toronto police released a picture of Michael Nguyen, the 23-year-old man killed in the shooting, on Sunday afternoon. (Toronto Police Services) In April 2009, a security guard was shot while attempting to arrest two robbery suspects. He was wearing a safety vest that police credited with saving his life.
The incident comes almost 10 months after a shooting downtown at the Toronto Eaton Centre in which one man died at the scene and another was fatally wounded and died in hospital days later. Five other people were wounded, but survived the shooting.
Investigators are urging any of the hundreds of shoppers who were at Yorkdale Saturday night to come forward if they saw anything.
They're asked to call detectives at 32 Division at 416-808-3200.
