On Tuesday, police announced that a second suspect had turned himself into police in connection with the murder.
Demetrius McFarquhar, 24, has been wanted on a Canada-wide warrant since Nov. 24.
He has since been charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder, attempting to obstruct justice and failure to comply with recognizance.
McFarquhar is due to appear on the charges in a Toronto courtroom this morning.
Police say an 18-year-old suspect identified as Christopher Enrique Gordon is wanted on a Canada wide warrant for second-degree murder. Police consider Gordon to be “armed and dangerous” and urge anyone who spots him to call 9-1-1 immediately.
