Police are investigating after a victim was discovered with serious injuries following a shooting.

Niagara police have released images of a suspect and a vehicle in connection with a “targeted” shooting in Grimsby that left one person injured Wednesday night.

Both Niagara and Hamilton emergency services responded to the shooting as it happened around the Grimsby-Stoney Creek border on the South Service Road near Kelson Road North.

Police said officers found a male victim who was then transported to the hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Meanwhile, the suspect fled and was last seen running south on Kelson Road North from the South Service Road.

He is described as a Black male with a slim build and was last seen wearing black slim-fit track pants, black and red coloured shoes, white socks, and a black hooded sweatshirt with a white shirt underneath. Police said the suspect was carrying a blue reusable shopping bag.

The vehicle involved is believed to be a late 2000 to mid-2010 grey or silver sedan with dark-tinted windows, a tinted sunroof and a large dent on the driver’s side rear door.

“Detectives believe the shooting was targeted and believe that there is no ongoing risk to public safety,” police said.

They are asking anyone with information to contact 905-688-4111 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
