Suspect arrested in February 2022 Sarnia, Ont. shooting incident
Sarnia police have identified a suspect allegedly involved in a shooting incident in February in which people inside two separate vehicles pursued each other throughout a Sarnia neighbourhood, and shots were fired at one of them.
According to a press release from the Sarnia Police Service, just before midnight on Feb. 23, 2022, police responded to the area of Kathleen and Walnut avenues involving a call for shots fired.
Officers determined the incident stemmed from a confrontation between two parties. Police said the two involved parties, both inside two separate vehicles, pursued each other through the neighbourhood.
