A 24-year-old man, who was already out on bail facing two counts of attempted murder and gun charges stemming from last summer, is now charged with a third count of attempted murder in connection with a Brampton shooting earlier in 2024.
Peel Regional Police say on the evening of March 9, 2024, they responded to a parking lot shooting in at 51 McMurchy Ave. S. – near Queen St. W. and Main St. S. – and found an adult male suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Following an investigation, on Jan. 26, 2025, Travarn Atkinson was arrested and charged with attempted murder using a firearm.
The Mississauga man was held in custody pending a bail hearing at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton.
