"Officers have now identified Abdul Yeberebaba, of Toronto, as the suspect in the case. He's wanted by police on a Canada-wide warrant for second-degree murder, said Det.-Sgt. Phillip Campbell at a news conference on Thursday. Two Toronto men, 19-year-old Jayden Samuel-James and 21-year-old Rajveer Gill, were arrested and charged this week with accessory after the fact to murder."
"Jack was shot following a verbal exchange at a gathering in the area. Police said he was not involved in any gangs or criminal activity, said police. At the time, investigators had little information on the suspect other than he was male and wearing dark clothes during the shooting."
"If you choose to help someone avoid accountability, you're committing a serious criminal offence, he said. In a message to Yeberebaba, Campbell urged him to do the right thing and turn himself in. Anyone who believes they have seen the suspect or has any information is requested to contact police immediately."
