PEI RCMP continue to actively investigate the shooting incident that occurred on Friday August 8, 2025 in Urbainville, PEI.

There are extensive police resources deployed on this investigation. It is being led by PEI RCMP Major Crime, with the support of RCMP Forensic Identification Services, RCMP General Investigations Section, the Joint Enforcement Team of PEI RCMP, Summerside Police and Kensington Police Services, Joint Forces Operations, PEI RCMP Traffic Services, RCMP Digital Forensic Services, RCMP Police Dog Services as well as CISPEI and the PEI Coroners Office. These units and organizations are examining all aspects of the incident. These situations involve a wide range of police and public safety resources, personnel and effort, which requires time to do that work effectively. Collectively, these organizations are working hard to reach a successful outcome for public safety.

What is clear from the investigation so far, and as was stated in our initial news release, the nature of this incident appears to be targeted and isolated. As for the greater risk to the public, we did not issue an Alert Ready message as this incident did not meet the strict criteria granted to Police for using it.

PEI RCMP fully appreciates the public’s desire for information on this incident and we encourage anyone with information on this incident to call West Prince RCMP at 902-853-9300 or East Prince RCMP at 902-436-9300. If you want to remain anonymous, call PEI Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
