Police say a white man was rushed to the hospital with non-janlevas injuries to a gun pellet wound. A second hunting – Belinda Sarkodi – was also located nearby with more serious injuries.
“Despite life -saving efforts, he was declared dead on the spot,” police said.
At a press conference held on Saturday, DET. SGT. John Obrovac told reporters that Sarkodi recently arrived in Canada from Ghana in 2024 and was living in Hamilton region and working.
“Belinda was an innocent, just going about his day,” he explained. “At the time of the incident, she was spending time with a friend in the downtown core.”
