Hamilton Police Services (HPS) are still searching for a suspect in relation to a shooting that sent a seven-year-old boy to the hospital with gunshot wounds. 

Shortly before 8 p.m. on January 23, HPS was called to a house on Gordon Street where they found the child who was suffering from the injury after being shot by a suspect from outside the house. 

After the shooting, the suspect fled the scene from the rear yard and got into a light-coloured, four-door sedan on Gordon Street. 

Currently, the child is still recovering in hospital.

HPS believes the residence was targetted, but the child was an unintended victim. 

While the family of the child has been cooperating with HPS, police believe there are witnesses who have information that could be vital to their investigation. 

Anyone with relevant information is urged to contact Detective Daryl Reid at (905) 546-3825.

Additionally, information may be provided anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
