Editor's note: As the youth suspect was arrested on April 29, we have removed the suspect's photos from this story, as required by the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
Greater Sudbury Police have released new photos of the person they believe is responsible for shooting and killing a 22-year-old man outside Overtime Sports Bar and Grill on Notre Dame Avenue on April 21.
The incident occurred at around 10:30 p.m. that Friday. A statement from Overtime said the incident began with an altercation between some men inside the establishment. After the group was ejected, one member of one of the groups returned a short time later and shot the 22-year-old victim.
You can see Overtime’s post below.
The person police say is responsible for the shooting fled the area prior to police arrival. Images of him on video surveillance have been distributed to the public in an effort to track him down.
On April 28, GSPS released new images of the man they believe is responsible.
Police said they believe the person responsible for the shooting is a young person (under the age of 18) from southern Ontario, therefore detectives have applied for and been granted permission to release the images pursuant to a judge’s order under Section 110, Subsection 4, of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
“The authority to publish a young person's identity ceases after five days or with the apprehension of the young person. The images will be removed from all publications on May 3 at 1 p.m. as per the judge’s order. This is a legislative requirement and shall be adhered to as it is a matter of federal law.”
As of approximately 10 a.m. Saturday, police had yet to track the suspect down. No charges have been laid.
“Police report this is believed to be an isolated and targeted incident, with no immediate threat to the general public.”
Friends of the victim in the case, 22-year-old Joe Cabigon, told Sudbury.com described him as friendly and selfless with a quick and easy smile. They also describe their heartbreak at his untimely death.
