Unsolved Homicide

Matar Abouchere was 27 years old when he was fatally shot while driving on the Red Hill Valley Parkway on July 10, 2020. A second person in his vehicle was seriously injured. Hamilton Police continue to seek information to identify those responsible.

Shortly before 9:25 p.m., Matar was driving a blue BMW sedan southbound on the parkway when someone in a dark-coloured SUV fired multiple shots into his vehicle. Despite being struck, Matar was able to bring the car to a stop on the shoulder.

The suspect vehicle fled southbound and exited at Greenhill Avenue. Matar had entered the parkway from the westbound lanes of Barton Street East.

Investigators are seeking information about the dark-coloured SUV and its occupants.

The motive remains unknown. Anyone who witnessed the shooting or knows anything about Matar’s murder is urged to contact Hamilton Police. Even a small detail could help investigators find answers for his family.

You do not need to have witnessed the crime or be certain your information is significant. Something you saw, heard or remember could help investigators find answers for a family still waiting.
