The Major Crime Team has now released a poster to coincide with a walk-through of the crime scene last evening, October 28, 2022, at the same time the shooting took place last week in hopes of gathering information from persons in that area to help with the investigation.

Commissioner of Police Mark Collins also made his own appeal this week for the public’s help in exposing illegal points of entry and the firearms distributors.

Reward being offered

“A reward of up to $20,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of those responsible. The families of the victims are also assisting in these efforts,” the release said.

The force noted that in light of the recent murders, Commissioner of Police Mark Collins also made his own appeal this week for the public’s help in exposing illegal points of entry and the firearms distributors.
