Share

A 19-year-old man is dead and an 18-year-old man is facing charges following an evening shooting in Orléans.

Emergency crews responded to a call in the area of Oaklawn Crescent, near Tenth Line Road and Charlemagne Boulevard, at approximately 9:15 p.m. on Wednesday. An Ottawa paramedic spokesperson told CTV News Ottawa that paramedics transported a man found at the scene to hospital with gunshot wounds. 

The victim died in hospital.

Ottawa police identified the victim as Brendan Mukoma.

"An 18-year-old suspect is in custody and the investigation is continuing," police said in a statement.

On Thursday afternoon, Ottawa police announced 18-year-old Anthony Jamieson is facing a charge of first-degree murder. Jamieson was scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.

There was no sign of a police presence in the area of Oaklawn Crescent and Tenth Line Road Thursday morning. Some police tape remained on a tree leading to a pathway between Oaklawn and Tenth Line.

Resident Nick Iraci says he heard a "pretty intense" police presence in the neighbourhood just after 9 p.m.

"We could see the police going up and down Tenth Line….it seemed like maybe they were chasing someone but we weren't exactly sure," Iraci said.

Iraci tells CTV News Ottawa he did not hear any gun shots last night.

Area residents say word of a shooting in the neighbourhood is scary.

"We've got a bunch of kids in this house too, so it's a little scary to think that someone was at large with a gun," Marie Pier said.

This is Ottawa's 13th homicide of 2023.
