A teenaged girl has been charged but police continue to search for two men in connection with a fatal stabbing of a man outside a Weston neighbourhood store.
David Blacquiere, 54, was stabbed to death outside a Shoppers Drug Mart store near Weston Road and Lawrence Avenue West shortly before noon on Nov. 14.
Police later announced that they were searching for a suspect they identified as Christopher Enrique Gordon along with a female they believe helped him after the murder.
At the time, police did not reveal the relationship between the two but said the female likely had an “intimate knowledge of Mr. Gordon.”
A suspect identified only as a 16-year-old girl surrendered to police in North York on Thursday.
While she has been charged with being an accessory after the fact to murder, she cannot be identified due to the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
Police said Friday that they’re still searching for Gordon as well as a second man, identified as 24-year-old Demetrius McFarquhar.
McFarquhar also has a warrant out for his arrest on charges of accessory after the fact to murder, attempting to obstruct justice and failing to comply with recognizance.
“My understanding is that both gentlemen are continuing to stay in the area of Toronto, and they continue to be harboured by people in the community,” Det. Rob North told CTV News Toronto.
“Both Mr. McFarquhar and Mr. Gordon are essentially unsophisticated in their attempts to evade us, and it's just a matter of time before we catch them.”
Police are warning that public that anyone who helps the two suspects could also face charges.
Police consider Gordon to be armed and dangerous and urge anyone who spots him to call 9-1-1 immediately.
Anyone with information on either of the suspect’s whereabouts are being asked to get in touch with police.
