Three sus­pects are in cus­tody fol­low­ing the mur­der of 44-year-old Sean Parisi­enne in Scar­bor­ough on Fri­day night.

Po­lice said Parisi­enne, a fa­ther of two, was walk­ing through the Gar­den­side car park at 7.15 pm when gun­shots rang out.

The in­ci­dent star­tled pedes­tri­ans in the cap­i­tal, while shop­pers in the near­by View Port Su­per­mar­ket were al­so left shak­en.

Parisi­enne was found ly­ing mo­tion­less with mul­ti­ple wounds to the body and was pro­nounced dead at the scene.

Griev­ing rel­a­tives de­scribed him as a calm in­di­vid­ual and an ex­cel­lent crafts­man. How­ev­er, they said he was in­volved in an al­ter­ca­tion last year that re­sult­ed in him chop­ping an­oth­er in­di­vid­ual.

Rel­a­tives looked on in dis­be­lief around 9 pm as po­lice ar­rest­ed a male sus­pect at the scene.

In­ves­ti­ga­tions are on­go­ing.
