CPS said police were initially called out around 2:45 p.m. on Sept. 30 to reports of people firing shots between two vehicles on westbound Glenmore Trail.

Approximately 30 minutes later, police were called to a residence located in the 100 block of Seton Passage Southeast for reports a man had been shot while parking his vehicle.

Officers found one man suffering from gunshot wounds. He was taken to hospital in serious condition but survived his injuries.

Police believe the suspect fired multiple rounds during the shooting in Seton, with stray bullets striking four surrounding residences, before fleeing the scene in a stolen vehicle.

Investigators say the same man was the target of both shootings, which are believed to be connected to organized crime.

In October 2023, police announced 26-year-old Thanh Nguyen had been arrested and was facing several charges, including attempted murder, unlawful possession of a firearm in a vehicle, possession of a restricted firearm contrary to a prohibition order and possession of stolen property over $5,000.

He will next appear in court on Monday, July 28, 2025.
