Niagara Regional Police Service (NRPS) said on July 16, just before 9 p.m., officers attended a home on Thorold Stone Road, near Dorchester Road, for reports of a male who had been shot.<\/p>\n
They said investigators initially determined two suspects attended the residence and shot a male with a handgun. <\/p>\n
The victim was taken to the hospital by paramedics but succumbed to his injuries a short time later, police said.<\/p>\n
Police said the suspects in this \u201ctargeted\u201d shooting had parked nearby and fled the scene in a newer model white Nissan SUV, possibly similar to a Rogue. A white Nissan Rogue has since been recovered, NRPS said.<\/p>\n
It is believed that they are \u201clikely\u201d operating a Black 2021 Mazda CX5 with Ontario license plate DDEC 744, said NRPS. <\/p>\n

The suspects have now been identified as 23-year-old Maaroof Bangi and 30-year-old Josta Grace Macneal. They are both wanted for second-degree murder.<\/p>\n
The male suspect was previously described by police as 25 to 35 years old and standing five-foot-six with a skinny build and dark skin. They said he wore a white t-shirt, dark pants, shoes, sunglasses, and a red bandana.<\/p>\n
Investigators initially said the female is 18 to 25 years old with dark brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing baggy blue sweatpants, a grey hooded sweatshirt, and white shoes.<\/p>\n
Gun not recovered, say police<\/p>\n
\u201cNo firearm has been recovered in this incident, therefore Bangi and Macneal are still considered armed and dangerous at this time,\u201d Niagara police said in a news release.<\/p>\n
As a result, anyone who sees either suspect is advised to not approach them but instead call 911 immediately, police say.<\/p>\n
Police are also urging the suspects to speak with a lawyer and turn themselves in.<\/p>\n
Anyone with further information, including any local businesses with video surveillance footage, is asked to contact NRPS at 905-688 4111, option 3, extension 1009134, or Crime Stoppers anonymously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police have named two outstanding suspects after a male was fatally shot in Niagara Falls late last week.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":813039,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[712,49,48,44],"class_list":["post-813038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-canada","tag-apple-news","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/813038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=813038"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/813038\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/813039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=813038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=813038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=813038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
