A man died in hospital after being shot at the intersection of Jasmine Crescent and Ogilvie Road just before 6:30 p.m., Ottawa police have confirmed.

It's Ottawa's fifth homicide of 2016, and the third on Jasmine Crescent in less than a year.

Police secured the scene while major crime unit officers investigated. (CBC News) Students involved in after-school activities at Lester B. Pearson Catholic High School, located at the same intersection as the shooting, were asked to stay indoors as a precaution as the major crimes unit investigated.

Duty Insp. Sean McDade said police were interviewing many witnesses on Tuesday night, and that there was "conflicting information" on whether or not a vehicle was involved in the shooting.

No suspects have been identified and it's too early to tell what the motive of the shooting might be, he said in the hours following the shooting.

Roch Rondeau, a 21-year-old who lives in the neighbourhood, didn't see the shooting but saw a young man lying on the pavement being treated by paramedics.

"It's not that good of a neighbourhood anymore," said Rondeau, adding he'd like to see more "a lot more security" in the area.
