Hamilton police have arrested a youth in connection to a shooting on Sept. 1 near Upper Wentworth Street and Kingfisher Drive around Lime Ridge Mall.
Shortly before 6:00 p.m. that evening a shooting occurred, prompting an immediate investigation.
Footage of the suspect was released to the public. The accused was seen wearing a blue tracksuit with a white circular pattern and a black ski mask.
On Sept. 4, members of the police’s Emergency Response Unit located the suspect at a downtown location where the youth was arrested without incident.
The youth cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. They remain in custody pending a bail hearing and are facing multiple charges, ranging from breach youth probation to unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a prohibited loaded firearm and discharge of a firearm with intent.
Although an arrest has been made, the investigation remains ongoing and, according to police, a search warrant of a Hamilton residence is likely.
Anyone with additional information that may aid in this investigation is encouraged to contact the Hamilton Police Shooting Response Team at 905-546-4883 or via email at shootingresponseteam@hamiltonpolice.ca.
