Police continue search for shooting suspects

Police have released a second suspect sketch as part of a renewed plea for public assistance in an ongoing shooting investigation in Clearview Township.

The August 15 shooting happened at about 10 a.m. on a property on 15/16 Side Road near Highway 26. Police responded and located one individual with a gunshot wound. The victim was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The investigation determined that two individuals arrived at the property in a sedan. After a verbal altercation, the passenger discharged a firearm, striking the victim. Both suspects then fled in a dark- coloured Volkswagen Jetta or Passat (2011-2018) with Ontario plates.

Police are looking for two males: the driver, is described as having a darker complexion (possibly of Portuguese, Greek or Italian descent) with a beard and between the ages of 39 and 42; the passenger has a light complexion, sandy brown hair and may be older than the driver.

Investigators believe the shooting was targeted but urge community members to remain vigilant and promptly report suspicious activity to police.

“This was a serious incident that involved a firearm being discharged. We are grateful the individual did not sustain more significant injuries. We are urging anyone with information to contact us, particularly if you recognize the suspects or the vehicle involved,”said Detective Staff Sergeant Seth Adair.
