Police say they are releasing the teen’s name and image in the “interest of community safety.”

On Saturday at around 10:25 p.m., police were called to a Cambridge home near Cedar Street and Briar Hill Avenue after gunfire was reported.

Police found a 46-year-old man from Cambridge suffering from injuries after being shot. He was taken to an out-of-region hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

They say it was likely an isolated incident with the victim knowing his killer.

It was the first homicide of the year in Waterloo Region.
