Criminal investigators with the Timmins Police Service are reporting progress in two unrelated homicides in just over 24 hours.

Det. Sgt. Kathryn Beatty says the victim in the shooting on Balsam St. S. early Friday is Jason Oliver Bartley of the Toronto area.

Suspects are still being sought.

Meanwhile, two suspects are facing first-degree murder charges and a long list of other charges related to the shooting death of 32-year-old Cole Lefaive early Saturday on Rea St. S. The 22-year-old man and 32-year-old woman – also both of Timmins – are in custody.

In both cases, anyone with information that might help the investigation is asked to call Timmins Police or Crime Stoppers.
