TORONTO — Toronto police are looking for two suspects in connection with the fatal shooting of an elderly man in a parking lot on Wednesday night.

Video footage posted on YouTube by Toronto police shows on of the suspects walking towards a parked van, while an accomplice keeps watch from a short distance away in a Scarborough townhouse complex just after 11:30 p.m.

Alva Dixon, 70, was drinking beer and smoking with a friend in his 40s inside the van when the suspect approached, police said.

Dixon was a well-known and well-liked former resident of the complex.

“He was a very, very good guy,” Muharem Zorjan, a local resident, told Inside Toronto News. “Everybody liked him. He never had a problem with anyone.”

Video shows the suspect firing two shots into the van in what appears to be a deliberate targeting of a person or persons inside and then running away.

Dixon, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was pronounced dead at the scene, while the friend in the driver’s seat suffered a gunshot wound to the arm, reported CBC News.

No arrests have been made. Police believe the shooting was not a random attack but are not sure if Dixon was the intended victim.
