Friday night a 26 yr old man working at a mobile store, in Markham's Pacific Mall, was shot dead.

Around 8:45 p.m. a single gunshot was heard in the basement level of the mall. Officers responded to the Mall and found the victim, Kit Chun Cheong of Toronto, lying on the floor of a store called XSITE.

He had a gunshot wound in his head. Fifteen minutes later the building was closed for the night.

Cheong was rushed to Sunnybrook hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery. However, he could not be saved.

According to the police, this does not seem like a robbery case as nothing was apparently stolen.

This has been the region’s first murder of the year. The police are yet to discover the motive behind it. When last spotted the murderer was reported to be running northwest through the shopping centre. He is still on the loose.

"He's considered armed and dangerous," said Const. Gary Phillips.
The victim’s family was much too grieved to talk on the topic.

However they are reportedly headed to the GTA from Hong Kong.
