Toronto police say a Canada-wide warrant has been issued for the arrest of a 20-year-old man wanted in connection with the murder of 15-year-old Jahkai Jack.<\/p>\n
Jack was shot and killed near Buttonwood and Charlton Settlement avenues shortly after 10 p.m. on June 7.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a news conference on Thursday, Det.-Sgt. Phillip Campbell said the teen was just visiting the area with friends when he was shot. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a group of people hanging around, possibly filming a rap video, Jahkai and a couple of his friends went to that area. There was an altercation and Jahkai ended up getting shot,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe was 15 years old, he was not involved in gangs, he was not engaged in criminal activity, he was simply a young person meeting friends on a summer night.\u201d <\/p>\n

Campbell called the shooting a \u201ccompletely unprovoked\u201d act of violence that has \u201cdevastated his family, his friends, and his community.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cThat devastation has not gone away,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cHis family continues to live with the unimaginable loss of a child whose life was just beginning.\u201d <\/p>\n
An arrest warrant has been issued for Abdul Yeberebaba, 20, of Toronto, who is wanted for second-degree murder. <\/p>\n
On Tuesday, police said 19-year-old man Jayden Samuel-James, of Toronto, was arrested for accessory after the fact. A second man, identified by investigators as Rajveer Gill, 21, was arrested in British Columbia and is facing the same charge, Campbell said. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I spoke in July, I issued a warning. I said that anyone who helped the person responsible\u2026 could face charges,” Campbell said. <\/p>\n
\u201cThese two arrests demonstrate that we meant what we said.\u201d <\/p>\n
Campbell was unable to speculate on the location of Yeberebaba. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou know we are looking for you\u2026 do the right thing, turn yourself in,\u201d Campbell said Thursday.<\/p>\n
\u201cSpeak to a lawyer and arrange to surrender. Continuing to evade police will only make the situation worse.\u201d <\/p>\n
He urged the public to contact police with any information they may have about the whereabouts of the suspect. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf anybody out there has anything, even an idea or a theory or some idea on where he might be, give me a call, I\u2019ll investigate it,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cI want to get this person into custody. He needs to face charges.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Toronto Police identify 20-year-old Abdul Yeberebaba as a suspect in the fatal shooting of Jahkai Jack after two…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":501464,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[712,49,48,44],"class_list":{"0":"post-501751","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-canada","8":"tag-apple-news","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501751","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=501751"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501751\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/501464"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=501751"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=501751"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=501751"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
