The Clemow Avenue residence where the shooting occurred has four apartments. A neighbour said police were concentrating their efforts on a basement apartment.
It was cordoned off with yellow police tape Friday as officers conducted a canine track in search of the suspects.
Officers were asking neighbours if anyone saw a vehicle speeding away from the scene, one person told CTVNewsNorthernOntario.ca in an interview.
They are also searching for surveillance footage in the area off Lorne Street.
'Anyone with information or with video surveillance equipment in the area that may have captured the individuals involved is asked to contact police at 705-675-9171,' police said.

Angus Fox, 32, and Herb Fox, 34, were transported from Edmonton to Regina for a pair of court appearances. Angus faces a first-degree murder charge in addition to unauthorized possession of a firearm and possession of a loaded or restricted firearm. Herb faces one count of accessory after the fact to murder. Herb made his first court appearance on that charge on June 11, while Angus made his first appearance in Regina provincial court on June 12. The investigation into the killing began on May 30 – when Regina police officers responded at around 2 a.m. that morning to the area of Marshal Crescent in the Normanview neighbourhood. Ewalk's body was found at the scene. The Regina Police Service put out a call to residents, asking for surveillance footage of the area surrounding the crime scene. Five days later, on June 4, the two suspects were arrested during a traffic stop in Edmonton. A tactical team, plastic projectiles and a police dog were used in the arrest, according to the service. One of the suspects was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Ewalk's death marked Regina's fourth homicide of 2025.
