The Lanark County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), under direction of the OPP Criminal Investigation Branch, is seeking potential video from the public in relation to last week’s homicide in Carleton Place.

On July 15, 2020, at approximately 4:00 a.m., the OPP was called to a motel on Highway 7 where a male had suffered serious injuries in an assault. The 57-year old male victim was transported to hospital where he later died from his injuries.

Shortly before 1:00 p.m., members with the OPP Tactics and Rescue Unit (TRU) and OPP Emergency Response Team (ERT) arrested the accused without incident.

Investigators are asking anyone in a defined area of Carleton Place (see attached map), who has business or residential surveillance video, to contact the Lanark OPP at 1-888-310-1122. Should you wish to remain anonymous, you may call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222- 8477 (TIPS), where you may be eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $2,000.
