UPDATE: Attempt Murder at 646 Main Street East

Police are still looking to arrest 27-year-old Jason Anthony Long on charges of Attempted Murder and Robbery in relation to an incident at 646 Main Street East on the evening of February 10, 2021.

The 30-year-old victim is still on life support and his prognosis is not favourable. Decisions are to be made on whether medical intervention will be withdrawn. Should the victim succumb to his injuries the current charges against 33-year-old Madelene Peternel will be upgraded to First Degree Murder, and the charges on the arrest warrant for Jason Long will also be amended.

Investigators are continuing to review hundreds of hours of CCTV footage from around the crime scene and are awaiting forensic results as they work towards identifying the third suspect.

The victim’s previously reported stolen Acura was recovered on February 12, 2021, in the area of King Street East and Connaught Ave.

Anyone who is knowingly assisting Jason Long to evade his arrest will face charges of Accessory After the Fact.

If you have any information that you believe could assist Police with the investigation into this crime, you are asked to contact Detective Daryl Reid of the Major Crime Unit by calling 905-546-3825.
