Share On

A man wanted in connection with a fatal shooting in Brampton was killed in an officer-involved shooting in Niagara Falls late Tuesday, police say.

Niagara Regional Police confirmed that 38-year-old Anthony Deschepper died following an encounter with officers at a gas station near Thorold Stone Road and Montrose Road. Authorities said the incident occurred hours after Deschepper was identified as the suspect in a deadly shooting outside a Brampton strip mall.

Peel Regional Police reported they were called to the parking lot near Queen Street East and Airport Road around 2 p.m. Tuesday, where officers found a woman suffering from gunshot wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators later determined the killing was related to an intimate-partner dispute.

Police said the suspect fled in a black 2024 Nissan Kicks with a Quebec licence plate. An Amber Alert was issued after officers learned a one-year-old child was in the vehicle. The child was later found safe and in good health after being left with relatives.

Authorities in Niagara Falls urged residents to shelter in place Tuesday evening as officers searched for the armed suspect. The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has been notified and is now reviewing the circumstances surrounding the shooting.
