A man sought for a fatal shooting in Kitchener, Ont. is now being connected to another shooting in Hamilton last summer, according to police.
Investigators are accusing 21-year-old Habiton Solomon from Hamilton, wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for second-degree murder, of firing off rounds in a parking lot fight on July 22.
Several people were reported to have been involved in the late-night skirmish around 11:30 p.m. near King Street West and Caroline Street North.
There were no reported injuries from that shooting, say police.

“Soloman is considered armed and dangerous,” Hamilton Police (HPS) said in a release Friday.
“If located, please do not approach and contact police immediately.”
In Hamilton, the accused is facing five charges including discharging a firearm with intent and possession of a prohibited weapon.
Soloman is also a suspect in a fatal shooting that occurred in Kitchener last August, according to a HPS spokesperson.
