Ridout Street Shooting Suspects

The London Police Service continues to investigate a shooting that occurred at about 1:30am on Wednesday, August 24, 2016. Two male suspects are described as follows:

1. Male, black, 5ft8in (172cm) to 6ft (183cm) tall and weighing approximately 230lbs (104kg). He is further described as bald, with a muscular build.

2. Male, black, 5ft6 (167cm) to 5ft7in (170cm), 140 to 160lbs (63 to 72kg). This male was said to be dressed in a black hooded sweatshirt and black pants.

One of the suspects was armed with a handgun but both individuals should be considered armed and dangerous.

It appears that the occupants of a residential dwelling in the vicinity of Ridout Street and Kent Street were the intended targets of a robbery that took place inside the dwelling.

The adult male victim who suffered gunshot wounds remains in hospital in critical condition. Two other adult victims of the robbery were unhurt.
