Police are investigating Ottawa’s 20th homicide of the year after a man was shot dead on Bayswater Avenue Tuesday evening.
Ottawa police had earlier confirmed the shooting in the Hintonburg area just before 11 p.m.
Residents reported hearing loud gunshots. “Very loud here on Bayswater near Laurel. 4-6 bangs. 5 min ago or so,” Twitter user @jaybaltz tweeted just after 11.
He also tweeted that many emergency vehicles were on the scene, and that Bayswater was sealed off at Gladstone and Laurel avenues.

Police have gone into the Vibe Cafe at Somerset and Bayswater, according to a a photo and information provided in a tweet by Jay Baltz.
The incident, the 11th fatal shooting this year, was also the city’s 64th shooting of the year.
In addition, the police guns and gangs unit has investigated 44 cases this year in which 18 people were injured by bullets. In 26 of those 44 cases, police believe shots were fired but there were no injuries.
Civic and police leaders maintained in October that they are concerned about the number of increased shootings but say they don’t believe combatting it is an issue of resources.
Kitchissippi ward Coun. Jeff Leiper, who lives in the area, came out to the scene late Tuesday after hearing about it from a friend nearby.
“There have been several concerning incidents” in the area recently, Leiper said early Wednesday, after surveying the scene. He said he came out to try to reassure local residents who had gathered.
He noted that there had been several previous incidents involving guns and knives, and that they were looking at forming a neighbourhood watch group.
Leiper also said he had written to Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau, asking for a greater police presence in the area.
Bordeleau told the police board’s finance committee last month that the force was starting to see “relief” on the frontline after hiring 25 new officers.
