Hamilton Police Service is looking for witnesses to a homicide at a local restaurant in Hamilton. 

At approximately 1:30 a.m., on August 8, 2018, there was a shooting on East Avenue, just north of King in Central Hamilton.

As a result of this shooting, one male is dead and three other persons have suffered non-life-threatening gunshot injuries.

Identification of the victim and subsequent notification of next of kin is ongoing.

A suspect description will be forthcoming as the information is confirmed. This does not appear to be a random act.

We are encouraging anyone with information or video in the area to come forward.

King Street remains closed between Emerald and East, but we hope to have it opened up soon. East Avenue between King and King William will remain closed for most of the day.

If you have any information that you believe could assist Police with the investigation into this murder you are asked to contact Detective Ross Johnson of the Major Crime Unit by calling 905-546-3827.
