A shooting in downtown Windsor is now a homicide investigation.
Police were called around 2:40am Monday for a report of shots fired around Ouellette Ave. and University Ave.
When officers arrived, a 20-year-old Windsor man, who has contacts to the Greater Toronto area, was found suffering from gunshot wounds.
He was taken to the hospital and died of his injuries.
A 19-year-old Windsor woman, who was an acquaintance of the victim, was also suffering from a non-life threatening injury.
Investigators learned that two men approached the victim, pulled out a gun and fired multiple times.
Police says it was a targeted incident and Sergeant Steve Betteridge says police are trying to determine the motive.
"Much too early to say," he says. "It's a very active investigation but when you are using that word motive, we are confident in saying that this appears to be a targeted incident."
The two suspects fled on foot northbound on Ouellette Ave toward Chatham St.
Police are also checking to see if there is any video surveillance of the incident.
"That is something that we do in any investigation, we canvas the area, local businesses that may have surveillance video, sometimes private citizens."
Investigators are looking to speak to anyone who witnessed the shooting.
