SUPPORT THE FAMILY - GOD BLESS YOU
According to the Greater Sudbury Police Service, a chilling 9-1-1 call was placed around 10:23 p.m. on August 29, 2025, reporting the sound of gunshots at 1960 Paris Street. When officers arrived, they discovered the lifeless bodies of a 41-year-old woman and a man whose identity has yet to be confirmed. Both were victims of an apparent targeted attack that has left this close-knit community in shock.
Police confirmed that a 44-year-old man has been taken into custody in connection with the case. However, investigators believe additional suspects fled the scene before officers arrived. The Criminal Investigations Division is now leading a full-scale investigation, working tirelessly to track down those responsible.
While authorities have emphasized that the incident was not random, they confirmed that the victims and suspects were likely known to each other. This revelation, though offering some reassurance that the wider public is not at risk, underscores the deeply personal nature of the tragedy. The exact motive remains unclear, and investigators are pursuing every lead.
“This is an unimaginable tragedy for the families involved and for the Sudbury community,” police said in a statement, urging the public to assist in the investigation.
As residents struggle to process the violence, community members have expressed grief, disbelief, and concern over the rare but harrowing event. Sudbury, known for its close bonds and quiet neighborhoods, now faces the painful task of mourning lives lost while seeking accountability for those responsible.
Authorities are appealing to anyone with information to come forward. Witnesses or those with relevant details are encouraged to contact the Greater Sudbury Police Service at 705-675-9171 or leave an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers at 705-222-TIPS (8477).
The investigation remains ongoing, with police vowing to leave no stone unturned in the pursuit of justice. For now, Sudbury grieves, united in sorrow and in determination to honor the memory of the victims whose lives were taken far too soon.
