One man is dead after an overnight shooting at a restaurant parking lot in Mississauga.

Peel police responded to reports of shooting near Hurontario St. and Central Pkwy around 2:30 a.m. Sunday.

They found an adult male suffering from a gunshot wound, said Const. Akhil Mooken. The victim died at the scene, he said.

Police have identified the victim as 24-year-old Kyle Clouden of Mississauga.

Homicide investigators taped off the area Sunday morning as they investigated.

“This area is fairly well-travelled in and around the 2:30 a.m. time period, so we are appealing for any witnesses, anyone that may have dash-cam or building surveillance ... to provide that information to our homicide investigators,” said Mooken.

Police have not yet released information about any suspects or what might have brought the victim to the area.

This is the third shooting to occur in the GTA in the last 48 hours, said Mooken, but there is currently no indication that the shootings are connected.
