Investigators identified a suspect and an arrest warrant was issued for Carson Ray Mario McIvor.

McIvor was able to evade police and hide out for months.

On February 9, 2021, police located his hiding place and with help from the Tactical Support Unit raided an airport area hotel.

McIvor was charged for his alleged involvement with 15 firearms and assault-related charges and detained in custody.
