Peel Regional Police have issued an arrest warrant for 18-year-old Damian Walker in connection with the fatal shooting of a male youth in Brampton last month.
The incident occurred on April 23 in the area of Beech Street and Church Street East, near Queen Street East and Kennedy Road. At the time, authorities responded to what was initially reported as a suspicious death. On Thursday, police confirmed the victim was under the age of 18 and had died from gunshot wounds.
Walker, a resident of Brampton, is now wanted on a charge of second-degree murder. Investigators believe the incident was targeted and involved individuals known to one another.
“The circumstances of the shooting remain under investigation but appear isolated to the individuals involved,” Acting Sgt. Tyler Bell-Morena said in a statement to CP24.
Police have released a photograph of Walker and are warning the public that he may be armed and dangerous. They advise anyone who sees him not to approach but to call 911 immediately.
Walker is described as six feet tall with a slim build, light complexion, brown curly hair, green eyes, and a rose tattoo on the right side of his neck.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is urged to contact Peel police at (905) 453-3311, ext. 3205 or to reach out anonymously through Peel Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or peelcrimestoppers.ca.
