It took over a year to solve, but the Halton Police has made an arrest in a 2019 shooting.
On August 10, 2019, at roughly 7:20 a.m., officers responded to a shooting at a home on Maple Avenue. Suspects had reportedly fire shots at a victim after ringing the doorbell. The victim was not hit by any of the shots and was not physically injured. The suspects fled the area in a vehicle and no arrests were made at that time.
That changed on Wednesday, January 13th. Investigators with the 30 Division Criminal Investigations Bureau executed a search warrant at a home in Stoney Creek. One suspect was arrested and has now been charged.
25-year old Evan Trites of Stoney Creek has been charged with the following:
- Utter Threats
- Assault with a Weapon
- Reckless Discharge of a Firearm
He was held in custody pending a bail hearing in Milton.
Anyone with information regarding this investigation is asked to contact the 3 District Criminal Investigations Bureau at 905-825-4747 ext 2316.
