Peterborough police have located and arrested the suspect in a fatal shooting early Friday morning (April 26) at the Sunshine Homes housing complex at 572 Crystal Drive.
The shooting claimed the life of a 32-year-old Peterborough man. Police say the victim and the suspect were known to one another.
The suspect fled the scene of Friday’s shooting and police searches of the area were fruitless. However, after police identified the suspect, they began searching known locations in the city.
On Friday evening, police located and arrested 37-year-old Geoff Riley of Peterborough and charged him with second-degree murder and attempted murder. Riley is being held in custody and will appear in court on Saturday.
Although the investigation is still continuing, police are not looking for any other suspects.
“We thank the public for their assistance and patience throughout the day,” a police media release states. “We also thank the investigators and officers for their work in locating the suspect and ensuring the safety of our communities.”
