Waterloo Regional Police say they have arrested one man from Hamilton and are searching for another in connection to a fatal shooting which occurred in downtown Kitchener last month.

Police say a 19-year-old man from Hamilton was arrested on Wednesday and has been charged with manslaughter in connection to the case.

They are also looking for 20-year-old Habitat Solomon, who is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant and facing a second-degree murder charge.

He is described as being five-foot-eight-inches tall, 130 pounds, with a thin build, black hair, and brown eyes.

Police say Solomon “is considered armed and dangerous. If seen, please do not approach him but call 9-1-1 immediately.”

They are also expecting to make additional arrests and lay additional charges in connection to the case.
