London police say they’ve arrested and charged the second suspect wanted in connection with last weekend’s shooting and stabbing on Cleveland Avenue.
It was just before 2 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 19 that officers responded to the area of 495 Cleveland Avenue in the city’s southeast end to reports of a man being shot and another man being stabbed.
On scene, their investigation showed the victims were approached by two male suspects who allegedly pulled a knife and a firearm on the victims. They were both said to be in stable condition after the incident and one has since been released from hospital. The other remains hospitalized.
The suspects fled before police arrived on scene, but a 22-year-old London man was found nearby and arrested in connection with the case. Police allege he was in possession of a firearm.

Then, on Thursday, Jan. 24, London police announced they’d captured the second suspect wanted in the case the day before.
Another 22-year-old London man now faces three counts of armed robbery, two counts of aggravated assault and one of count breaching probation.
Investigators say he’s scheduled to appear in court on Thursday to answer to the charges.
