On Sunday, June 30, 2024 at approximately 4:35a.m., the Hamilton Police Service responded to reports of a shooting along Highway #6 in Flamborough between Concessions 7 and 8.   This shooting originated from a disturbance that had occurred at a large house party taking place in a short-term rental property along Highway #6.  This disturbance continued onto the highway resulting in shots being fired at a car parked on the shoulder of the highway and at another car stopped in a nearby gas station.

One male was located in the parked vehicle suffering from gunshot wounds.  He was transported to local hospital but later succumbed to his injuries.  The deceased has now been identified as 45-year old Tobenna Obiaga of Halton Region.  

Family have provided a photograph of Tobenna to be released to the media.

Two of the occupants in the vehicle at the nearby gas station also suffered non-life threatening gunshot wounds and were later released from hospital.  A fourth person was also injured at the house and was released from hospital with minor injuries that were not firearm-related.  

Witnesses described a dark grey sedan fleeing the scene of the shooting but no further suspect description is available at this time.

Police are still guarding the property and several cars left at the scene pending search warrants being issued later today.  Investigators believe that there are numerous witnesses to this homicide that have not come forward to speak to police and those witnesses are urged to contact the Homicide Unit.
