Hamilton, ON – Spencer Laffin, a cherished member of Hamilton, Ontario, tragically passed away after being identified as the victim of a targeted shooting incident. The 33-year-old father, brother, and son was confirmed deceased following the incident on Nebo Road and Hempstead Drive. Details emerged during a police press conference, where Detective Sergeant Sara Beck revealed that the investigation points to at least two suspects involved—a gunman and a getaway driver.
The harrowing events unfolded around 5 p.m. on Monday, prompting multiple 911 calls that led police to the front parking lot of a business site at 70 Nebo Rd. It’s been reported that the incident began in front of Satellite Tires, a family-owned business belonging to the Laffin family. Prior to the shooting, there was a brief interaction between Laffin and the gunman.

“My brother Spencer Laffin I can’t believe I’m writing this. I wonder what you are doing or where you chose to be for your eternal life…I know we all think that this is life, who we are here on earth but, I believe that this is just a test. We are all here to learn, to experience temptation, love, loss..to make decisions that will bring us closer to who or what we were meant to be..“None of this defines who we are. I believe there is something out there that is greater then ourselves…whatever you believe, you should know that for sure…You went home, that’s it, You are waiting for all of us…I will see you again… May you rest easy and fly high love and respect always. R.I.P to an amazing son, grandson, brother, and father. Heaven gained a real one that’s Forsure”
Tragically, Spencer Laffin sustained multiple gunshot wounds and succumbed to his injuries at a neighboring farm. The gunman, described as a six-foot-nine Black man in dark clothing and a blue medical mask, departed north on Nebo after the shooting. Police are actively searching for a dark-colored SUV that stopped at Nebo and Hempstead before the incident.
Law enforcement is urging those who were in the commercial area between 2:30 and 5:15 p.m. on Monday to review their security cameras for any footage related to the suspect or the vehicle. The investigation involves speaking with Laffin’s colleagues and a meticulous examination of video footage around the crime scene. This incident marks Hamilton’s tenth homicide this year.
