London police identify second suspect in shooting near Fanshawe College

London police say a second man is wanted in connection with a shooting last month near Fanshawe College.

The incident happened around 4 a.m. on Sunday, June 10, in the area of Oxford and Third Streets. Police say no injuries were reported, and the people involved fled the scene before officers arrived.

Samater Ali, a 28-year-old London man, is charged with reckless discharge of a firearm, possession of a loaded regulated firearm, and possession of a firearm while prohibited.

Police are warning the public that Ali is considered dangerous and potentially armed, and that he shouldn’t be approached. Instead, they’re urging people with information to contact the London Police Service.

The day after the shooting, police announced that 27-year-old Shakeem Shavonne Nicholas was arrested and charged with attempted murder, discharge of a firearm with intent to wound, and possession of a loaded regulated firearm without the proper licence.

Ali was also charged after a shooting in a parking lot behind Barney’s Bar and Grill around 2:30 a.m. on April 29, 2016.

In that case, a man survived a life-threatening gunshot wound after being rushed to hospital.

Ali was charged with aggravated assault, unauthorized possession of a firearm, and discharging a firearm with intent to wound/endanger life, and was arrested that August.

William Dwayne McDonald was also charged in the parking lot shooting.

McDonald is now before the courts on charges of second-degree murder in both the 2012 shooting death of Jonathan Zak and in the 2017 shooting death of Emmanual Awai.
