A 39-year-old man charged with attempted murder has been arrested for violating his bail conditions for the second time in approximately 10 months, Windsor police say.

According to a news release from the Windsor Police Service, on Feb. 6, 2025, 39-year-old Damian Richards was arrested in connection with a targeted shooting that occurred the previous week near the intersection of Partington Avenue and Algonquin Street.

He was granted bail on multiple charges, including attempted murder, pointing a firearm, and possession of a prohibited firearm without a licence.

Two months later, police say Richards was arrested after bail compliance officers determined he had violated the conditions of his release order.

In October, he was released again under strict house arrest conditions.

During routine monitoring, police learned Richards had once again violated his court-ordered conditions on six occasions between Jan. 30 and Feb. 13, 2026.

Shortly before 2 p.m. on Feb. 13, bail compliance officers and the Emergency Services Unit located and arrested Richards in the 1500-block of University Avenue West.

He has been charged with six counts of failing to comply with a release order.

Richards’ surety, an individual who agrees to supervise an accused while they are out on bail and ensure they comply with their release conditions, 59-year-old David Davies, and who was with Richards at the time, was also arrested and charged with facilitating a breach of a release order.
