Multiple shots were fired at a vehicle in the 700 block of Erie Street East on Sunday but no one was hurt, Windsor Police Service said.

In a news release on Monday, police said they responded to a call about gunshots in the area just after 4 a.m.

When officers arrived they found several spent shell casings on the street and sidewalk.

Police said a preliminary investigation revealed that a verbal altercation broke out on Erie Street East between two males on foot and several people in a silver Ford Escape.

As the sports utility vehicle drove westbound, one of the males retrieved a firearm from his waistband and fired several shots at the vehicle. The two males then ran away eastbound, police said in the release.

Police looking for suspect

Police said the shooter was dressed in a light-coloured shirt with dark sleeves and a dark hood as well as light-coloured pants.

The investigation has been turned over to the Windsor Police Major Crimes Unit.

Investigators are asking residents and business owners in the area of the shooting to review their surveillance or dash cam footage for video evidence, specifically between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. on Sunday.

Anyone with information should contact the Windsor Police Major Crimes Unit at 519-255-6700, ext. 4830. Tips may also be submitted anonymously to Crime Stoppers.
