Arrest warrant issued for 17-year-old man in connection to fatal shooting in Lowertown
A Canada-wide arrest warrant has been issued for a 17-year-old in connection to a fatal shooting in Lowertown two weeks ago.
Creflo Tansia, 18, of Ottawa died in hospital after he was shot on Murray Street near Beausoleil Drive at around 8:20 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 10.
A second man suffered gunshot wounds.
On Saturday, the Ottawa Police Homicide Unit issued a Canada-wide arrest warrant for a 17-year-old on a charge of first-degree murder.
His photo and name were initially released during the search for the suspect but the allowance under the Youth Criminal Justice Act to publish them has expired and they have been removed from this article.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Ottawa Police Homicide Unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5493.
Police say investigators believe the accused did not act alone, and are asking for the public's help in identifying any other suspects.
This was Ottawa's 14th homicide of 2021.
