THUNDER BAY - Police continue to hold the scene at a south side residence that is now the focus of a homicide investigation but have not confirmed if a suspect is in custody.
Police responded to reports of gunfire Sunday evening just before 6:30 p.m. at a residence on the corner of Brodie Street and Arthur Street.
A man was found with life threatening injuries and transported to hospital where he was pronounced dead. The victim has been identified as 35-year-old Geoff Corbeil.
According to a witness in the area, no one was taken into custody on Sunday night because police could not obtain a statement from anyone about what took place.
Thunder Bay Police Service issued a media release about the incident on Monday morning but have not said if someone was arrested or if an armed suspect is at large. A spokesperson with Thunder Bay Police said there is no public safety concern but did not provide any details as to why.
No one from Thunder Bay Police Service has been made available to speak to the incident.
Several people living in the area said they did not hear any gunfire Sunday night and while the area is known for some strange activity, they said it is scary to know a shooting took place just down the street.
Police are asking anyone with information about the incident to contact them at 684-1200 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8677 or online at www.p3tips.com.
