Police released an updated description and tattoo photos of an attempted murder suspect who remains outstanding on a Canada-wide warrant.
On Saturday, Feb. 27 police responded to the 3000 block of Downing Street for a shots fired report.
When officers arrived they found a vehicle with gunshot damage as well as a victim who did not sustain any physical injuries.

He is described as a male white, 20 years old, approximately 5'5", approximately 130 lbs., slender build, brown hair and brown eyes.
