Greater Sudbury Police have released three new photos they hope will help them catch the suspect wanted for murder in a shooting at a local bar April 21.
In a news release Friday, police said the suspect is believed to be a young offender from southern Ontario. However, a court has granted temporary permission for the photos to be distributed.
“Detectives have applied for and been granted permission to release the images pursuant to a judge’s order under Section 110, subsection 4, of the Youth Criminal Justice Act,” police said in a news release.
“The authority to publish a young person's identity ceases after five days or with the apprehension of the young person. The images will be removed from all publications on May 3 at 1 p.m. as per the judge’s order. This is a legislative requirement and shall be adhered to as it is a matter of federal law.”

The attack took place at the Overtime Sports Bar and claimed the life of a 22-year-old Joe Cabigon.
Anyone with information related to this person’s identity or whereabouts is asked to contact police at 705-675-9171, ext. 2320, or Crime Stoppers at 705-222-8477.
The bar owner said in a social media post Wednesday, the shooting happened about 30 minutes after staff kicked out a group of people engaged in a verbal argument.
Correction
Note: With the arrest of the suspect April 29, CTV News has removed images of the 16-year-old suspect in the case.
