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!

Police at the scene of a Sunday homicide in a Governors Road parking lot in Dundas. The province is expected to announce two new seniors' homes on the west Mountain brow lands. Police are searching for a blue Ford Edge that left the scene of the Governors Road shooting that killed Zach Shuman. Motions were passed by the downtown subcommittee and police board. The councillor doesn't sound all that enthusiastic about the renovated arena in his ward, writes Scott Radley. The Crown has accused Jordaine Wilson of lying to the jury in cross-examination. The Dundas native isn't hurt, sick or struggling — just choosing family over fairways as he reflects on life, golf and what matters most. Three salads you can use as summer meals, or add to a main. There's a Rupert Holmes song from the 1970s that beautifully reflects this scenario, titled 'Escape (The Pina Colada Song),' which you can Google if you're not old enough to remember it, advises Thai Convery.

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.

Two teens arrested after leading Monroe County deputies on high-speed chase in stolen car, sheriff says
Two teen boys have been arrested after a high-speed chase in Southeast Michigan's Monroe and Wayne counties as authorities investigated a stolen vehicle complaint. The investigation is still ongoing, but the Monroe County Sheriff's Office said that the two are believed to be involved in a series of breaking and entering incidents that happened Monday evening and early Tuesday in Frenchtown Township. The investigation began after Michigan State Police handled several criminal complaints in the area of Custer Estates Apartments, which is on Mall Road in Frenchtown Township. The reports included larcenies from vehicles, attempts to steal vehicles, and a 2018 Ford Edge that was stolen. Through access to the Flock license plate reader camera system, officers learned the stolen Ford Edge was a few miles away in the area of LaPlaisance Road near Interstate 75 in Monroe Township. A Michigan State Police trooper saw the Ford Edge turning from LaPlaisance Road / Exit 11 onto I-75 northbound and provided its location. A sheriff's deputy attempted a traffic stop on I-75 near Elm Avenue / Exit 14, but the driver sped off. The stolen vehicle was pursued until the driver finally stopped at Van Horn Road and Telegraph Road in Wayne County's Brownstown Township. Both the driver and passenger were taken into custody and have been lodged at the Monroe County Youth Center. The Monroe County Sheriff's Office asks that anyone with information to assist in this investigation call the department at 734-240-7530 or submit a tip through Crime Stoppers, 800-SPEAK-UP.
