The victim was identified by court documents as 19-year-old Mark Chaves.
"At this point all I can say is they were known to each other," Johnson said.
WRPS were called to a home on Birkinshaw Road Saturday night for reports of shots fired. Police later added the call came from inside the home.
A 19-year-old was reportedly found by police at the scene with gunshot wounds and pronounced dead.
"Many people were terrified," said Isabella Kik, a Cambridge resident who lives nearby.
"Everyone was asking what the heck is going on? Are we safe?"
Neighbours who didn't wish to be identified tell CTV News they didn't hear anything anything at the time of the shooting as well.
"I feel terrible because this shouldn't happen to anyone," said Kik. "No family should have to go through this."
