A Kitchener man has been charged for the Jan. 5 shooting at a Cambridge home.

Gunshots were fired at a house on Sekura Street, around 3:45 a.m. that day, while the residents were inside. Some of the shots struck the front door, as well as a glass panel at the side of the entrance.

No injuries were reported.

Later that same day, Waterloo regional police released photos of a vehicle believed to be involved in the shooting – a white SUV with a burnt out headlight on the passenger side.

Security video from a neighbour, which was shared with CTV News, showed a white vehicle matching that description circling the neighbourhood.

At 3:05 a.m., the vehicle is seen driving down Sekura Street. It then parks on a side street and remains there for about 30 minutes.

Around 3:40 a.m. a person appears to step out the vehicle and walks over to Sekura Street. Then the vehicle’s headlights come on and it circles the block twice at 3:42 a.m. and 3:45 a.m.

At 3:46 a.m., the vehicle can be seen traveling in the opposite direction, then making a U-turn before once again driving down Sekura Street.

Less than minute later, multiple gunshots ring out. The vehicle doesn’t appear in the video again. Police never confirmed with CTV News that the vehicle shown was the same one wanted in the shooting.
