Provincial police have charged a 32-year-old woman in the murder of a Penetanguishene man.
On July 27, 2023, at around 5 p.m., police responded to reports of gunfire in the rear parking lot of Village Square Mall in Penetanguishene.
30-year-old Jesse Deschamps of Penetanguishene was transported to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The accused was arrested on Monday and has been charged with first-degree murder, mischief over $5,000, and obstruct a peace officer.
Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) issued a public appeal earlier this summer for any information someone might have about the case.
At the time of the appeal, police released a composite sketch that was created by an OPP forensic team to help identify a person that the OPP wanted to speak with.
The accused, who is from Penetanguishene, remains in custody pending a bail hearing.
