The Ottawa Police Service says a Canada-wide warrant has been issued for a suspect in connection with the shooting death of a 23-year-old man.

The announcement on Friday came on the same day police reported a 35-year-old man wanted in the same shooting surrendered to officers in Toronto.

It was just after midnight on Aug. 21 when officers said Jonathan Wite was shot and killed at a residence on Richmond Road near Pinecrest Road.

Officers said Dwayne Young surrendered to Toronto police earlier in the day.

Twenty-nine-year-old Michael Buckley is wanted for first-degree murder, prompting the countrywide warrant to be issued. Police said he should be considered “armed and dangerous.”
