Police say it is believed the victim and suspect were known to each other and an altercation ensued between the two, at which time multiple shots were fired.

Lynn Mosceo who lives in the area tells CTV News she and her husband were on edge, not knowing what the situation was.

“It was crazy!” Mosceo explains. “There was no notification what was happening. We got a notification from our daughter that something was going on, not to leave the house. So, you’re leery.”

Mosceo says she saw police investigators including the K-9 unit in the area, worried about how many children live in Forest Glade.

“This is a very safe neighbourhood. We’ve never had any issues,” Mosceo says she still feels safe, despite the circumstances, admitting she would feel better if there had been more communication from authorities.

“I know they don’t want to scare the area but, should have been notified,” she says.

Mosceo adds it made for a sleepless night.

“I know it’s not anybody from around here because we don’t have those issues,” she says. “No, I don’t have any worries about that, I’m concerned about not being notified.”

The Major Crime Unit continues to actively investigate and is asking anyone in the area with surveillance cameras to check their footage for possible evidence.

Police have arrested Lawrence Davis, 23, of Windsor who now faces the following charges:

No other suspects are being sought and there is no risk to public safety, police say.

Police say the victim’s name will not be released at this time in order to protect the integrity of the investigation and the second victim’s identity.
