A 34-year-old man was shot to death outside a Brampton bar on Thursday night, according to Peel police.
Officers were called to Slumdog Bar & Grill, in a shopping plaza at 15 Brisdale Drive, shortly after 11:00 p.m. for a report of gunfire.
The victim, identified by police as Kareem Watson of Brampton, was found outside the establishment shortly after.
Police officers attempted life-saving efforts, but Watson succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The force's homicide unit has taken control of the investigation.
"There are quite a few witnesses," said Peel police Const. Danny Marttini, adding that officers are canvassing for any security camera video that may have captured parts of the shooting.
Anyone who may have potentially valuable information is asked to contact Peel's 33 Division, call homicide detectives directly or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers.
Police did not have any suspect information as of early Friday morning.
"There is no further information at this time and the investigation is ongoing," Marttini said.
