Police eyeing two other suspects

Hamilton investigatorssay David Stevens was alone in his apartment on Harvey Street, surfing the web on his laptop at night, when he died.

Police say video shows three peoplekicking in the front door of the Harvey Street rooming house. Within 30 seconds, they found Stevens' room. There were six to choose from. They fired through his door using a single gun and killed him.

Detectives say the three manran out and drove away in a silver or grey coloured, Chevrolet Cruze, 2015 model or older, four-door with no sunroof. Police have yet to find the murder weapon or getaway vehicle.[

Paramedics arrived at around11:30 p.m., to find Stevens wounded and unresponsive. They tried CPR and took him to the hospital. They later pronounced him dead.

Police saythe three men in the video footage were trying to settle an ongoing dispute between the 23-year-old Stoney Creek man and one of the other occupants in the seven apartment rooming house where Stevens lived.

Several tenants have since moved out of the rooming house, including the intended target.

Officers arrested a19-year-old Hamilton man on March 6 for Stevens' murder, released him unconditionally after an interview. He is still a suspect in the ongoing investigation.

On April 30,investigators from the Major Crime Unit say they interviewed a 20-year-oldHamilton man and believe he isthe third man in the video.

Both men have been told to seek legal advice.
