Officers located evidence that a firearm had been discharged, and a residence had been struck by multiple shots.

On Saturday, December 6, at approximately 8:30 p.m., police responded to the residence located at Gatewood Road and Huron Street a second time after the occupants reported hearing what they believed to be gunshots.

Officers located evidence that a firearm had been discharged at the residence a second time.

Police observed surveillance video and determined a black Jeep Cherokee was possibly involved.

At approximately 11 p.m. on Saturday, December 6, 2025, police received reports of the sound of gunshots in the area of Primrose Court and Cleveland Avenue. When officers arrived, they located damage to the residence and found evidence of two gunshots being fired.

A short time later, just before midnight, on Saturday, December 6, 2025, police responded to reports of the sound of gunshots at a residence in the area of Banbury Road and Goodman Drive.

Officers found the residence had been struck by a single bullet.

Police observed video surveillance and learned the lone suspect who was wearing black pants, a black jacket, a red hoodie, and a black face covering fled in a dark coloured SUV after firing the single shot.

This morning, Monday, December 8, 2025, shortly after 2 a.m., police received reports of gunshots from the residents of a house in the area of Kipps Lane and Arbour Glenn.

Evidence of a firearm being discharged was located at the residence.

None of the incidents resulted in anyone being struck, and there have been no injuries reported to police. 

Officers responding to the shooting observed a black Jeep Cherokee travelling at a high rate of speed in the area of Egerton Street and Hamilton Road matching the description of a suspect vehicle from one of the previous shootings.

Police attempted to stop the suspect vehicle and pursued it when it failed to stop.

The vehicle stopped in the area of Wellington Road and Commissioners Road East where the occupants fled from police on foot.

With assistance from the LPS Canine Unit, a man and woman were located and arrested a short distance away.
