Dundas homicide victim was a single dad
Zachary Shuman was a single dad raising his three-year-old daughter, before he was killed in a shooting in a Dundas parking lot Sunday. In the aftermath of the July 27 shooting, the 25-year-old's parents are now faced with 'the unimaginable loss of their son while stepping in to raise their granddaughter,' says a GoFundMe organized by the family of Shuman's brother-in-law, who are in New York. 'Zachary's sudden death has deeply shaken his family,' the online fundraiser says. This includes his sister, whose infant son was born just six days before the homicide and who will never be able to meet his 'uncle Zack.' 'This tragedy has left a hole that cannot be filled,' the family says, adding any donations will help with the costs of raising Shuman's daughter and supporting the family as they heal. As of Thursday afternoon, the GoFundMe had raised just under US$27,000, nearly reaching its $28,000 goal. Friends sharing the online fundraiser describe Shuman as having 'the biggest heart' and being 'the most caring friend.' Hamilton police homicide detectives continue to investigate the shooting, which happened around 5 p.m. in a parking lot on Governors Road, near Ogilvie Street. Police believe Shuman, who was driving a grey Dodge Ram pickup truck, had a brief interaction with the driver of a blue Ford Edge in the nearby Metro parking lot shortly before the shooting. Both vehicles then travelled to the parking lot where the shooting occurred and witnesses saw the Ford leaving. It remains unclear what the interaction was about, why they went to that parking lot and what led to the shooting. Nicole O'Reilly is a reporter at The Hamilton Spectator. noreilly@ Error!

Witness who ran from Dundas shooting comes forward in homicide investigation
A witness seen running from the scene of a fatal shooting in Dundas has come forward, says Hamilton police. Zachary (Zach) Shuman , 25, of Dundas was shot and killed in a Governors Road parking lot just west of Ogilvie Street, around 5 p.m. Sunday. The suspect is believed to have fled in a blue Ford Edge. Shuman was driving a grey Dodge Ram pickup truck, which was found at the shooting scene. Police said the victim had some kind of interaction with the driver of the Ford in the nearby Metro parking lot shortly before the shooting. It's unclear why both vehicles travelled less than half a kilometre down the road to where the shooting occurred. The treelined parking lot borders Chegwin Park Path and is near several condo buildings. The lot is west of the building at 77 Governors Rd. and used by residents of 50 Governors Rd. — the building across the street. It remains unclear what happened in the Metro parking lot and what prompted the shooting, Det. Sgt. Sara Beck of the homicide unit said Wednesday, adding that she would not speculate on the motive. Police believe both the suspect and victim were likely alone in their vehicles, but that is a detail detectives are still working to clarify. No suspect description is available and the Ford Edge has not been found, she said. On Monday police issued an appeal for a woman seen running from the shooting to come forward. She was considered a witness. Beck said she has since come forward. People living in the nearby condos described hearing about five gunshots Sunday. While Shuman is from Dundas, he has no connection to the condos in the area. The family declined to provide a photo and has asked police to not share details about Shuman's life or their family.

Dundas homicide victim identified; search on for shooter
Hamilton police have identified 25-year-old Zachary Shuman of Dundas as the victim of a fatal shooting in a Governors Road parking lot Sunday. Investigators are now looking for a suspect who fled in a blue Ford Edge. Police were called to the area of 77 Governor's Rd., a condominium west Ogilvie Street in Dundas, around 5 p.m. and found Shuman unresponsive in a parking lot near the building, said Det. Sgt. Sara Beck, of the homicide unit. Heavy police presence expected in area of Governors and Ogilvie. His grey Dodge Ram pickup truck was found parked in the lot that is next to Chegwin Park Path. Witnesses described a blue Ford Edge leaving the scene. Detectives have learned there was a brief interaction between Shuman and the driver of that Ford Edge in the parking lot of the Metro, at 15 Governors Rd. — less than half a kilometre away — shortly before the shooting, Beck said. Police remained at the scene of a homicide near 77 Governors Rd. in Dundas Monday morning. The shooting took place Sunday. 'We know an interaction occurred, what the content was, the conversation or why it was happening we don't know,' Beck said of the brief interaction at the grocery store. 'It occurred while both Zack and the suspect were in their vehicles.' From there both vehicles travelled to the nearby parking lot, but Beck would not say whether one driver was following the other or the order they arrived. Police are still confirming details through video. Homicide Det. Sgt. Sara Beck updates the public about the victim of a shooting Sunday in Dundas. It's not clear if the shooting was targeted, or if Shuman and the suspect knew each other. It's also not clear why the shooting happened in that particular parking lot, as Shuman has no connection to the buildings in the area. Detectives believe both were likely alone in their vehicles, but that is also something they are working to confirm by video. Police are also looking for woman, who is believed to be a witness, seen running from the area after the shooting. Beck said detectives believe she was in the area at the time of the shooting and they are looking to speak with her. She is described as having shoulder-length brown hair and wearing either red or orange shorts. 'The Hamilton Police Service extends our deepest condolences to Zachary's family and friends during this incredibly difficult time,' Beck said, adding that they have asked for privacy. Police are asking members of the public who were in the area to check their surveillance and dashcam footage between 4:45 and 5:10 p.m. Anyone with information is asked to call Det. Kimberly Tait of the homicide unit at 905-546-4863. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or visit . Nicole O'Reilly is a reporter at The Hamilton Spectator. noreilly@ Error!
