Homicide investigators in Toronto have released security camera footage of a suspect wanted in connection with a deadly shooting in Corktown last month.
Gunshots rang out inside a Toronto Community Housing (TCH) building near Adelaide and Parliament streets at around 2 a.m. on Aug. 19.
Twenty-two-year-old Jesse Graham-Richter died at the scene from at least one gunshot wound to the head.
While police have said they believe the victim was targeted, they have released few other details about the investigation until now.
Detective Robert Choe told reporters on Friday that neither the suspect nor the victim lived in the building where the shooting took place, although Graham-Richter was familiar with the address.
Choe also said that police believe the suspect is known to frequent the areas around Bloor and Yonge and Dundas and Parliament streets.
Investigators released a series of video clips taken from multiple security cameras in the “immediate vicinity” of the TCH building that show a suspect walking along a sidewalk. At one point, the suspect looks directly at one of the cameras.
“I want to state to whomever it may be that knows who this person is that there are many ways to get this information to us and all we are looking for right now is a name,” Choe said.
The suspect has been described as a male with a medium building who stands under five-foot-ten. He was last seen wearing a black jacket, dark pants and his black hair styled in twisted braids.
Anyone with information about the investigation is being asked to call Toronto police or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
