Two suspects have now been arrested in connection with a shooting in Pelican Narrows in August, however, police said two suspects are still at large.

Pelican Narrows RCMP received reports of a shooting around 4:45 a.m. on Linklater Street on Aug. 7. It was determined that a group of men armed with firearms approached a man and a woman at their residence and demanded their keys. Shots were fired and the two residents were injured.

The armed men then fled from the area without stealing the vehicle. The victims were taken to hospital with serious injuries.

Police monitored the area, found the suspects in a truck, and a chase ensued. Officers found the truck abandoned on Dorion Crescent, and police located three suspects nearby and arrested them, one of which was 24-year old William McKay. The other two men arrested were released.

Warrants were issued, and 25-year-old Tyrese Sewap was arrested, along with a teenage boy who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. However, 18-year old Mikka McCallum and another teenager police have charged in the case are still at large.
