The London Police Service says on Sunday around 5:08am, officers and paramedics were called to 1161 Hamilton Rd. and discovered the man suffering from gunshot wounds. He was transported to London Health Sciences Centre, where he was pronounced dead shortly before 6am.

Four people arrested at the time of the shooting have been charged with drug-related offences. A fifth person who was also arrested has since been released unconditionally.
