Police are hunting for two suspects after a 24-year-old Toronto man was shot dead in a Peanut Plaza bar early Saturday.
Just before 3am, a fight broke out inside Col. Mustard's Pub & Deli, near Don Mills Road and Sheppard Avenue. Officers say a man pulled out a handgun and fired several shots, before fleeing with a second man.
Melvin Gomez was caught in the gunfire and pronounced dead at the scene. Two others were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Detectives are now looking for two suspects.
They say the first is male with a brown complexion, 5 feet 5 inches - 5 feet 6 inches tall, 120 - 130 lbs., and in his early 30s. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, black pants, and a blue baseball cap with ear flaps and was armed with a handgun.
The second is male with a brown complexion (lighter than the first suspect), 6 feet - 6 feet 2 inches tall, 260 - 280 lbs., and in his late 30s. He was wearing a grey zippered sweatshirt with a hood, a white shirt with a logo and dark jeans.
They were last seen heading south through the Peanut Plaza.
