OPP have charged two locals and are seeking a Hamilton man in connection with a June 24 shooting incident that left a person dead in Sheguiandah First Nation on Manitoulin Island just southwest of Sudbury.
Investigators say they were called out to a weapons complaint at an address on Wiingush Miikan two weeks ago and discovered a 32-year-old man from Sheguiandah First Nation with serious injuries.
He was subsequently transported to a local hospital, where he would later die.
In a release on Sunday afternoon, OPP say they’ve charged a 55-year-old from Northeastern Manitoulin and The Islands as well as a 25-year-old from Whitefish River First Nation with accessory to murder after the fact and obstructing a peace officer.
Both are expected to make court appearances in late July.
