Bodies found Monday

Early Monday morning, around 7:10 a.m., a man with multiple gunshot wounds arrived at the Queensway Carleton Hospital, according to police.

While officers were investigating that first shooting, which happened in the Elmhurst Park area not far from the Lincoln Fields Shopping Centre, the body of another man was discovered nearby.

He has been identified as 26-year-old Abdurahman Al-Shammari of Ottawa.

Later in the day, police were called to the intersection of Aylen and Wayne avenues after residents reported an abandoned car with its engine still running.

Police found a man who had been shot to death inside the vehicle. He was later identified as Dirie Olol, 26, also of Ottawa.
