Sketches of two suspects wanted in the drive-by shooting in Schomberg in February have been released today.
A 65-year-old man was out walking his dog at 8:40 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 12 on Centre Street in King Township when he was shot at multiple times from a vehicle driving by.
Police originally thought the man was shot for gesturing at the speeding vehicle. However, investigation has revealed this was a targeted shooting, York Regional Police said, but the victim was not the intended target.
The victim was taken to the hospital in critical condition. He is going through a lengthy recovery process but is expected to survive.
Police obtained sketches of the two suspects in the vehicle and are appealing to the public to help identify them.
