Earlier in the day, Elgin County OPP were on scene in Sparta for a third straight day, investigating the area's first homicide of 2022.
Police officers used a drone for close to an hour Monday morning on North Street in the quiet village Southeast of St. Thomas.
North Street remained closed to anyone who did not live on the street, and multiple OPP vehicles were on scene.
OPP remain tight lipped about the incident, as CTV News has asked repeatedly to speak with officials since the shooting took place on the evening of Jan. 1, 2022, but have yet to be granted an interview.
Neighbours told CTV News, just before 7 p.m. on Saturday, they heard a loud bang that sounded like a shotgun coming from a residence nearby, then moments later a car speeding away.
