The incident took place in the vicinity of a nightclub on Church Street, just south of Front Street East, during the early morning hours of December 3, 2022.

According to police reports, the suspect, identified as Javell Jackson from Toronto, allegedly became involved in an altercation that escalated into gunfire, resulting in severe injuries to another man. The victim, whose identity has not been disclosed, was left fighting for his life following the incident.

Javell Jackson is now wanted on multiple charges, including attempted murder, unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm contrary to a prohibition order, and failing to comply with a release order.
