A 56-year-old Aurora woman was unhurt after a shooting near Bayview and St. John\u2019s Sideroad on the morning of December 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

York Regional Police are seeking the public\u2019s assistance in finding the suspect vehicle following the Major Crescent incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn Wednesday, December 16, shortly after 8.30 a.m., York Regional Police were called to Major Crescent, which is in the area of Bayview Avenue and St. John\u2019s Sideroad, for a report of shots fired,\u201d said Sergeant Andy Pattenden in a statement. \u201cWhen officers arrived, they found a burgundy sport utility vehicle on the roadway damaged with bullet holes. The driver of the vehicle, a 56-year-old woman from the Town of Aurora, was not physically injured but was taken to hospital as a precaution. Officers located several shell casings, as well as bullet holes in nearby houses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInvestigation has revealed that the shots were fired from a suspect vehicle, believed to be a white Honda CRV, which fled the area prior to police arrival. Police believe that this was a targeted incident.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police have released photos and video of the suspect vehicle, as well as the victim\u2019s vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigators continue to appeal for any witnesses who have not yet spoken with police to come forward, as well as anyone with residential video surveillance or dashcam footage from the area at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
