5 suspects sought in fatal Hamilton shooting of Toronto man

Five suspects are being sought in the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Toronto man Nathan Miller in Hamilton Thursday night, says Hamilton Police.

Miller was found in a downtown Hamilton home, one neighbours commonly referred to as a "crack house" with regularfights and late-night visits. Police were often called to the home, they said.

Detective SergeantJoe Stewart said Hamilton Police are working with Toronto Police to find the five suspects, but details a day after the city's first homicide of 2015 are slim.

"We have no idea what the motive is," Stewart said, adding Miller does not have a criminal record and that he has "no evidence" to suggest if Miller was known to the suspects at large.

Hamilton Police say on Thursday, a group of five men were allowed into the home, but once inside, they shot Miller and fled.

Emergency crews were called to the scene at 9:42 p.m. Thursday. Hamilton EMS commander James Summers said paramedics found a man shot multiple times.

Police say the shooter was a stocky 6-foot-tall man. Two of themen who entered the home with the shooter were described as 6-foot-5 tall.

Neighbours say the home, which remainedtaped off and was under examination by aforensics team Friday morning, had frequent visitors, fights and late night arguments.

"Three, fourin the morning they've got people coming and going, yelling and screaming in the alleyway waking my kids up," saidJoe Plainie, 26, who lives behind the home cordoned off by police tape nearCannon St. E and Sanford Ave.

On Friday morning, Hamilton Police were going door to door, canvasing for any information.

Neighbour Aaron Spafford, 30, said an incident "was bound to happen, it was a f------ crack house."

"So many people in andout of there... Everytime there's a government cheque, they're f------ cops here. It's nothing new to the neighbourhood," Spaffordsaid. People fighting out front, throwing bottles I'm not surprised."
