Arrest made in Sudbury homicide case

Body of man with gunshot wound found in Sudbury

Police in Greater Sudbury have released images of the person they believe is responsible for the shooting death of a 21-year-old victim April 6.

The victim sustained multiple gunshot wounds and his body was found in a vehicle parked in a garage on Lansdowne Street.

In addition to the images of the murder suspect, police said they made three new arrests in connection with the case.

A 23-year-old man and two women aged 22 and 25 have each been charged with accessory after the fact to murder.

Two will appear in bail court Friday, while the third appeared Thursday and was remanded into custody. A 23-year-old woman was arrested April 7 and charged with the same offence.

All four people “are known to frequent the address on Lansdowne Street where the body was located,” police said in a news release.

“Through the investigation, it is believed that four individuals residing in Greater Sudbury knowingly assisted in hiding the truck containing the body of the deceased in the garage on Lansdowne Street.”

Police said they believed this was a targeted attack.

Anyone with information related to the identity of the murder suspect and or his whereabouts is asked to call police at 705-675-9171, ext. 2320.

“This extension is a dedicated tip line for the active and ongoing murder investigation,” police said.

“As a result of the post-mortem conducted through the Coroner’s Office, it has been confirmed that the deceased died as the result of multiple gunshot wounds.”

Police discovered his body shortly before 3:25 p.m. on April 6 in a Black 2004 Dodge Ram 1500.

Police have not yet determined exactly where he was shot. They are not releasing his name at the request of the family.
