A 25-year-old Niagara man has been arrested in connection to a shooting and assault that occurred in Peterborough, Ontario.
On November 24, 2023, a 28-year-old man was dropped off at the Peterborough Regional Health Centre with a gunshot wound. A second 28-year-old man was also taken to the hospital later that day with undisclosed injuries. An investigation led to an arrest at a residence in Peterborough at the time, and police were seeking another suspect.
On January 9, 2024, officers responded to an assault at a residence where a man sustained a serious head injury. A suspect was identified in the case.
A four-month investigation culminated in a search warrant being executed at a residence in Thorold, Ontario, leading to the arrest of a 25-year-old Niagara man for both incidents.
The man has been charged with aggravated assault, unauthorized possession of a firearm, and other weapons-related offenses in connection with the November 24 shooting. For the January 9 assault, he faces charges of aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. The accused is scheduled to appear in court in Peterborough for both incidents on Friday.
