Police are seeking to identify two suspects captured on surveillance footage, connected with a shooting Monday that sent a man to hospital.
Investigators say a 50-year-old male bystander was “grazed” by one of several shots fired in an alleyway around 11: a.m. near King Street East and East Avenue North.
It’s believed the shooting involved two individuals and that the victim was not the intended target, according to a police spokesperson.

One of the suspects was the driver of a grey BMW, who appeared to be ducking on the driver’s side of his vehicle in the surveillance video, wearing a black hoodie and pants with white running shoes.
“Evidence gathered … suggests these individuals are both believed to have been armed,” const. Indy Bharaj said. “One of the suspects was observed operating a grey BMW sedan. Police have since recovered this vehicle.”
The second suspect, not seen on video, was a man wearing white shorts and a white hooded sweater.
“It is unclear to investigators what, if any, relationship exists between the two suspects,” Bharaj explained. “The motive for this shooting remains central to the investigation and has yet to be identified.”
Detectives are still trying to determine whether the BMW driver returned fire.
Several witnesses are seen in the video, but police say none have come forward to investigators.
