A 26-year-old man is dead and a 23-year-old woman is in hospital after a shooting in Newmarket on Friday night.

The shooting took place around 9 p.m. at a house on Colter Street, near Mulock Drive and Yonge Street.

In what police said was a targeted shooting, two males pulled up to the house in a “dark coloured sedan” and fired several shots, according to Const. Andy Pattenden with York Regional Police.

The victims were inside a white SUV when the shots were fired.

Both victims, who police said were from the city of Toronto, were taken to hospital with gunshot wounds. The man was later pronounced dead, while the woman remains in hospital in serious but non-life threatening condition.

“Gun violence has no municipal boundaries,” said Pattenden. “We need the public’s help.”

Pattenden said one of the male suspects in the car was wearing a “dark coloured shirt.”

Homicide investigators believe that the house where the shooting took place was an Airbnb rental unit.

The police also said there was another car at the scene that drove in the opposite direction and are appealing to the driver of that car, or anyone else with video or dash cam footage to come forward.
