Toronto police say Ayala is wanted for second-degree murder after they received a call on Aug. 23 for a well-being check at a house in the Etobicoke neighbourhood in west Toronto.

They say they found an 82-year-old woman and a 60-year-old woman dead in the home.

The suspect and the women were related, police say.

Ayala is described as five-foot-11 with a shaved head, and he was wearing all black clothing.

Police have released images of the suspect and say anyone who sees him should call 911 and not approach him, as he is considered dangerous.
