Winnipeg police say they’re still searching for a wanted man in connection with a September 2024 murder and are reaching out to the public for tips.

Chad Jason Dandan, 24, remains at large and is wanted for first-degree murder, kidnapping and extortion. Police say he’s believed to be driving a dark SUV and may have fled to northern Manitoba.

Dandan is the only outstanding suspect in the murder of Zeyad Vifan Shammo, 22, whose body was found in a Bristol Avenue home on Sept. 13 after an alleged abduction.
