Ontario Provincial Police say they are looking for a suspect after one person was shot and killed Friday in Renfrew, Ont.
OPP said in a news release Saturday that officers were called to a home on Vimy Boulevard at around 10:30 p.m. The victim had gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead in hospital.
The victim has not yet been identified, but police say it is believed this was a targeted and isolated incident.
The suspect remains at large and police are warning of an increased presence in Renfrew as a result of the investigation.
"The OPP reminds members of the public to be aware of their personal safety at all times and to ensure their doors and windows are locked," OPP said.
Anyone with information is asked to call OPP or Crime Stoppers.
Admitted serial killer Jeremy Skibicki’s defence lawyers have argued the accused had a history of schizophrenic delusions culminating in ‘catastrophic circumstances,’ while Crown prosecutors say the killings of four vulnerable Indigenous women were driven by Skibicki’s racist views and deviant sexual urges.
