Suspect in northeast London shooting ID'd by police
CBC
London police have identified the person they believe is responsible for a Wednesday shooting that sent one man to hospital with serious injuries.
In a media release Friday afternoon, police said a warrant has been issued for the arrest of Cody M Leblanc Ashe, 28, of London, who now faces one charge of attempted murder.
Ashe's current whereabouts are still unknown, police said.
The accused is wanted for allegedly shooting another person on Wednesday at around 4:20 p.m. ET, and fleeing the scene before officers arrived. The shooting happened at a public housing complex on Boullee Street operated by London-Middlesex Community Housing.
Following the shooting, police said the accused may have fled the scene in a red vehicle. He's described as a Black male, 6-foot-4, about 230 pounds and with black hair. The accused is also described as having black scruffy facial hair, a goatee and brown eyes.
A photo of the suspect shows a facial tattoo above his right eye.
Police are urging residents to avoid approaching the suspect if seen as he is considered armed and dangerous and to call 911 immediately.

A city councillor is suggesting the City of Calgary do an external review of how its operations and council decisions are being impacted by false information spread online and through other channels. Coun. Courtney Walcott said he plans to bring forward a motion to council, calling for its support for a review. He said he's not looking for real time fact checking but rather, a review that looks back at the role misinformation played on key issues. Walcott cited two instances in 2024 where factually incorrect information was circulated both online and at in-person meetings regarding major city projects: council's decision to upzone much of the city, and the failed redevelopment proposal for Glenmore Landing. "Looking back on previous years, looking back on major events and finding out how pervasive misinformation and bad information is out there and it's influence on all levels of the public discourse is really important," said Walcott.
