North Bay police say they have a 53-year-old local man in custody after a 57-year-old man was found dead at a local motel on Wednesday.
The accused is charged with first-degree murder in the victim's death, North Bay police said in a news release Thursday morning.
After this article was posted, North Bay police spokesperson David Woolley said a publication ban was in effect preventing the release of identifying information about both the accused and victim, so both names have been removed. CTV News has reached out to the Crown attorney and courthouse to verify the publication ban details.
Emergency crews were called Wednesday to "a multi-unit residential building in the 500-block of Lakeshore Drive" for someone in need of medical assistance when the body was found.
"The death was determined to be suspicious in nature," North Bay police said.
It is believed to be a targeted incident with no threat to public safety, police said.
