Police identified the victim as Husain Dahis, 26, of Ottawa, who was located with a gunshot wound and declared dead at the scene.

“I just heard a bunch of bullets or, like, gun noises, and it felt like someone was actually like drilling into the walls of our house because it was loud,” said area resident Isabella Xiong.
“And then five seconds later I heard a man screaming for a while and that’s when I thought ‘oh something’s definitely wrong.'”
Police say there is no threat to public safety.
It marks the 15th homicide in the city of Ottawa so far this year and the third reported shooting in three weeks.
It follows a string of similar shootings involving young people, including the death of a 28-year-old in the Hampton Park Plaza on July 5.
