Greater Sudbury Police are requesting assistance in locating 30-year-old Chase Gour-Boyd, who is currently wanted on two outstanding arrest warrants for two separate assaults that took place on Dec. 1.
They are also requesting assistance to identify two individuals involved in one of the two assaults.
According to a release from GSPS, the original incident was reported to police Dec. 1 at around 1:25 a.m. and officers were dispatched to Durham Street in relation to a weapons complaint. “Information provided was that an individual was seen beating another individual with a shovel outside of an establishment on Durham Street,” said the release. “The individual believed to be responsible for the attack then went inside the establishment while the injured individual left the area on foot. Officers attended the establishment and were unable to positively identify the individuals involved in the incident.”
Then, the release states that just after 2:15 a.m. officers were dispatched to the hospital as City of Greater Sudbury Paramedics had transported an individual who had sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries consistent with the assault that had taken place on Durham Street. As part of the ongoing investigation, officers reviewed video surveillance footage of the incident and identified the individual believed to be responsible for the assault.
Based on the investigation, officers applied for and were granted an arrest warrant for Gour-Boyd.
There is also a second incident now under investigation, a result of reviewing the video surveillance footage for the original incident reported to police.
“Officers determined that another assault had taken place shortly before the incident involving the shovel,” reads the police release. “Officers observed video footage of three individuals holding a person while a fourth individual repeatedly assaulted the person. Officers identified two of the four people involved in the incident, one was Gour-Boyd and the second was 20-year-old Tyler Cole who was arrested and charged on December 18.
Police are requesting assistance to locate Gour-Boyd and identify the other two unknown parties, seen here.
Anyone with information related to the incident(s) is asked to contact police at (705)675-9171 or Crime Stoppers at (705)222-8477.
None of the allegations have been tested in court and the accused is considered innocent unless proven guilty.
