"The interaction escalated when one of the suspects discharged a firearm directly at the victim's vehicle, striking it in the door."

The man is facing four firearm charges but police say they are still looking for another suspect, described as a Black man, approximately 30 years old, about 5'11" with a slender build and full beard.

Windsor police say the Glengarry community is the city's top location for violent crime, and have dedicated more enforcement efforts to the neighbourhood.
