Hamilton mob boss Pasquale “Pat” Musitano was reportedly shot in Mississauga, Ont., on Thursday morning. Peel Regional Police say an injured man was found with gunshot wounds just after 7 a.m., near Hurontario Street and Matheson Boulevard East. He was sent to a trauma centre in Toronto where he remains in a life-threatening condition.

The Hamilton Spectator reports that the victim is Musitano, but police have so far refused to confirm the man’s identity. The Spectator reports Musitano was shot outside the offices of his lawyer Joseph Irving on Matheson Boulevard East, and was hit up to four times.

Shahid Malik, a lawyer who shares space with Irving, told the Spectator that Musitano had been to see Irving early that morning, and said that “something happened” just after Musitano left the premises. Irving is said to be representing Musitano over the latter’s involvement in a paving and construction outfit, Havana Group Supplies Inc. Havana had recently been involved in a flurry of legal activity over its alleged non-payment of truck drivers who had hauled material for the company, the Spectator reports.
