Investigators are searching for a witness in a double murder at a bar in Hamilton earlier this year.
Hamilton police say they’ve “exhausted attempts” to identify a man who is seen in surveillance footage from the Urban Lounge on Barton Street East, where 39-year-old Jahmal Thomas and 25-year-old Rhonda Homsombath were fatally shot in March.
The man is believed to have been Thomas’ friend and was also with him when he went to Zen Lounge, prior to attending the scene of the shooting.
Police emphasize that he’s only believed to be a witness and are asking him to “do the right thing” and come forward, as they believe he has information that is vital to the investigation.
Investigators also now believe that more than one gun was fired at the time of the murder, but say they can’t elaborate on who they believe fired the weapons.
Thomas and Homsombath were gunned down in the basement lounge that’s attached Sam’s Tavern sometime before 5 a.m. on March 8.
It’s believed that Thomas was the intended target and that Homsombath, as well as two men who were injured – a 38-year-old and a 29-year-old – were innocent bystanders.
Anyone with information is being asked to contact Det. Daryl Reid at 905-546-3825.
