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.
Police said a passenger in one of the vehicles fired several rounds at the other people involved. The individuals who were shot at continued to follow the suspect vehicle and were able to corner it, at which time additional shots were fired at them.
