York police are searching for two people following a shooting in Markham this week.
Police say at around 7:40 p.m. on Mar. 18, the victim was leaving a business in the area of Green Lane and Guardsman Road when he was approached by a suspect.
The suspect then allegedly shot the victim multiple times with a shotgun, police say, before fleeing in a waiting Honda Civic being driven by a second suspect.
The victim was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Investigators are now searching for a suspect they describe as a Black male, who was wearing a black-hooded sweater.
Police have no description for the driver of the getaway car.
However, that car is described as a stolen, black Honda Civic 10th generation with a red ‘Supreme’ brand tow strap on the front passenger side, and a red and white ‘MUGEN’ sticker on top of the windshield and the front passenger side of the vehicle.
At the time of the shooting, police say the car had a blue and white Ontario licence plate reading CMET 480.
Investigators believe the incident was targeted.
