In a statement, police Chief James Ramer said he hopes Abilaziz Mohamed’s arrest “sends a clear message to those who continue to evade justice — you will be found.”

Abilaziz Mohamed, 32, had been wanted since last October in the shooting murder of Scarborough resident Craig MacDonald.

He was arrested Tuesday evening as a result of information police received from an anonymous source, police said Wednesday, the day after announcing the $250,000 reward through“Yesterday, Abilaziz Mohamed was BOLO’s No. 1 wanted suspect. Today, he is in Toronto Police Service custody,” police Chief James Ramer said in a statement Wednesday.

“We hope this provides a small amount of closure for the victim’s family. We work proudly and effectively with our BOLO partners and this successful arrest sends a clear message to those who continue to evade justice — you will be found.” Mohamed is facing a charge of first-degree murder for the shooting death of MacDonald. The 43-year-old died in hospital following the Oct. 13, 2021 shooting in a parking lot outside a restaurant near Morningside Avenue and Highway 401.

In a statement read by police on Tuesday, MacDonald’s sister said the fact that her brother’s killer was still at large was “a special kind of torture.” She said arresting the suspect and bringing him to justice would allow the family to take a step forward and ensure no other family has to endure what they went through.Police say about half of Canada’s 25 most-wanted fugitives are wanted for crimes committed in Toronto.

It has taken extra miles to find the suspect but after all the hard works the penalty he will get is 25yrs it should be life time to be fair the Law indirectly favours or sympathizes with the criminals instead of with the victims this is nothing the victims will never walk again

Young man dies in hospital after being shot in Moncton | Globalnews.caAn 18-year-old man has died after being shot in Moncton early Monday morning. Police in N.B. will not say if they are investigating the matter as a homicide. Problem..reaction....solution. They could be coming for everyone's guns. When a drunk driver kills someone do they shut down ALL liquor stores? Do they stop selling Cars? Food for thought!
