Investigators with the York Regional Police Firearms Investigations Team are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying suspects after shots were fired at a home in the Town of Newmarket on two separate incidents.
On Thursday, October 16, 2025, at approximately 1 a.m., police responded to a report of sounds of gunshots in the area of Hewitt Circle and Plantation Gate. When officers arrived, they observed visible damage to two vehicles parked on a driveway. The garage and front door of the residence also sustained damage.
The house was occupied at the time of the shooting. No physical injuries were reported.
The suspect is described as a male and was last seen wearing a dark hoodie and dark pants. He had arrived at the scene in a light-coloured sport utility vehicle.
On Thursday, October 23, 2025, at approximately 4:40 a.m., police responded to reports of gunshots at the same address. One male suspect had exited the passenger side of a light-coloured SUV and fired multiple rounds towards the residence and vehicles parked in the driveway. One victim, who was inside a parked vehicle, was injured by the gunfire and was transported to hospital with seriouss, but non-life-threating injuries.
Both incidents are being treated as a targeted and the investigation is ongoing.
