An investigation conducted by the GSPS Criminal Investigations Division, later identified three men police believed to be responsible for the shooting and arrest warrants were issued.
Police have charged 19-year-old Omer Duri with Attempted Murder with a Firearm and other associated offences.
GSPS is requesting the public’s assistance in locating the other two men who are known to frequent other major cities in Ontario.
