Shocking surveillance video shared by police shows the moment a daytime shooting took place last week in central Hamilton, directly across from a retirement home.
It happened shortly after 11 a.m. Friday in the area of Market and Caroline streets.
Three of the five suspects can be seen in the video walking in front of an apartment building located at 111 Market St., before one of the men gets involved in a gunfight.
The video appears to show the shooter ducking behind a car for protection while two other men run away from the scene. After several shots were fired, the video shows the shooter run past the apartment building.
Hamilton police rushed to the scene, where they found multiple bullet casings in the area.
A parked car and vacant apartment unit were struck by the gunfire.
No injuries have been reported at this time.
Investigators released photos and descriptions Monday of five Black men, all between 20 and 25 years old, who are wanted in connection with this shooting.
Officers say three men were in one group and two men were in the other.
The first suspect was wearing a black hooded jacket or sweatshirt, a black face mask, black shoes and was carrying a black satchel.
Police say the second man was wearing a beige or tan hooded jacket, a black face mask, black pants, white shoes and was carrying a black satchel.
The third suspect is described as having black hair and wearing a black sweatshirt, black pants, a tan satchel, a blue face mask and grey shoes at the time of the incident.
Officers say the fourth suspect was wearing light-coloured pants, a dark hooded sweatshirt or jacket with white lettering on the back and with the hood up, black shoes and a blue face mask.
The fifth suspect was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt or jacket with the hood up, black pants, black shoes and a blue face mask.
