Police are now searching for nine suspects in last fall's shooting in downtown St. Catharines, after learning individuals involved in the incident were part of a larger group.

Niagara Regional Police, who previously arrested a 33-year-old Richmond Hill resident suspected of being involved in the Sept. 29 shooting outside the Karma Lounge, said as a result of public assistance investigators have linked two suspects to a larger group of men who were present at the time of the shooting that left six people suffering from gunshot wounds.

The shooting outside the nightclub at 55 St. Paul St. at about 2:30 a.m., left six victims, ranging in age from 31 to 48, with serious injuries, including two who were transferred to an out-of-region hospital in critical condition.

On Feb. 26, police announced the arrest of Saeed Savalanpour while also asking for the community's assistance in identifying two additional suspects and a vehicle they were believed to be operating.

Wednesday, police released nine images of suspects after linking those individuals to a larger group of males who were present at the time of the shooting.

Police are asking anyone with information about the suspects or their involvement in the incident to contact investigators.
