Peel Police told 680News the man was pronounced dead at the scene at Bovaird Banquet and Convention Centre located in an industrial area.

The shooting happened around 4:30 a.m. where a man was shot inside the banquet hall which would have been crowded at one point as an event was happening at the time.

“As a result of those shots, one man has succumbed to his injuries, a gunshot wound to the chest. And now we’re in the middle of a homicide investigation,” Const. Thomas Ruttan said.

The area remains blocked off for traffic and businesses in a nearby strip mall are closed.

Still no word on the age or name of the victim.

No arrests have been made, and no suspect description is available.

“If there are any witnesses, either who were in attendance at this function or any witnesses who are just members of the public who happen to be in the area at the time, and saw something we’d like to speak to those people,” said Ruttan.
