Ottawa Police were called to the area of Rideau and Augusta streets , around 1:15 a.m. Monday for reports of a shooting.

A man was found suffering from gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Family identified Ashton Dickson, 25, as the victim of the shooting. They said Dickson was killed after an altercation over the line-up for the bathroom at the Mingle Room, a bar on Rideau Street.
