Mississauga, ON (6 August, 2026) ---
The province’s Special Investigations Unit is investigating the circumstances surrounding an overnight police-involved shooting in Mississauga that resulted in the death of a man.

Preliminary information suggests the following:
  • Shortly before 12:30 a.m. on August 6, 2026, Toronto Police Service officers located a Mercedes vehicle that had been reported stolen in Toronto the day before. The vehicle was tracked to Delfi Road, in Mississauga, in the area of The Collegeway and Winston Churchill Boulevard.
  • There was an interaction, and three unmarked police vehicles became involved in a collision with the Mercedes, which was occupied by four people.
  • During the incident, one officer discharged his firearm into the vehicle, resulting in the driver being struck. He was pronounced deceased at the scene.
  • The three remaining vehicle occupants were taken into custody.
  • One police officer was transported to hospital with minor injuries.

Four investigators, three forensic investigators and one collision reconstructionist have been assigned to the case.
