PICKERING -- Police have released security camera video in hopes of identifying two persons of interest in a shooting last May in Pickering.
The video captures images of two men pulling into a parking lot and emerging from a car on the evening of May 24. The lot is across the road from the Bayly Street industrial plaza where the shooting took place and was captured about 10 minutes prior to the incident.
Police said suspects opened fire on a moving vehicle, hitting the silver BMW several times but not hurting the two men inside it.
The video can be viewed at newsdurhamregion.com.
An intensive investigation resulted in the arrest of Adrian Charles, 22, on charges of attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Mr. Charles, a star running back with the Saskatoon Hilltops of the Canadian Junior Football League, was arrested in Saskatchewan in early October.
Neither of the men depicted in the video is Mr. Charles, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 905-579-1520, ext. 2595 or Crime stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
