Police say a man suspected in the killing of a 44-year-old Toronto woman, who was shot by a stray bullet, is believed to have fled the country.
They say 19-year-old Ahmed Ali is the last of three suspects identified by police, who investigators allege were involved in an alleged daytime gunfight that killed Karolina Huebner-Makurat.
Det. Sgt. Henri Marsman says police believe Ali, who is facing charges of manslaughter and robbery with a firearm, fled to Somalia shortly after the July 2023 killing.
Police have previously arrested and charged 32-year-old Damian Hudson with second-degree murder and 20-year-old Ahmed Mustafa Ibrahim with manslaughter and robbery.

Police say Huebner-Makurat was walking in the Leslieville neighbourhood on July 7 when she was hit by a stray bullet after an altercation broke out between three alleged drug dealers.
Marsman says police allege Ibrahim and Ali worked together and attacked Hudson, and then Ali and Hudson exchanged gunfire.
Police have also charged a 23-year-old woman who worked at a nearby supervised consumption site with being an accessory after the fact and obstructing justice.
None of the charges have been proven in court.
