A Mississauga man hunted by police on a Canada-wide warrant in connection with a murder earlier this year has been arrested in northeastern Ontario.<\/p>\n

York Regional Police said on Monday that Jacob Wallace, 19, was arrested this past Thursday in Moosonee, about 1,000 kilometres north of the Greater Toronto Area.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s charged with first-degree murder in connection with the Jan. 26 slaying of Sergio Lopes, 65, of Richmond Hill. Lopes was gunned down outside a plaza near Winges Road and Rowntree Dairy Road in Vaughan at around 1 p.m., police said.<\/p>\n

After arriving on the scene, officers found the victim in front of a business suffering from \u201cmultiple gunshot wounds.\u201d The man was rushed to hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries a short time later.<\/p>\n

Isaiah Thomas Badger, 19, of Edmonton, remains on the loose and is also being sought on a Canada-wide warrant for first-degree murder<\/a> in connection with Lopes\u2019 death, according to investigators.<\/p>\n

Police say Badger is considered to be \u201carmed and dangerous.\u201d Anyone who spots him should not approach him, but call police instead.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information is urged to call the York Regional Police homicide squad at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7865, or email [email\u00a0protected]<\/a>. Anonymous tips can be called in to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.<\/p>\n

Badger is also wanted by Toronto Police in connection with the Feb. 7 murder of Chandan Kumar Raja Nandakumar, 37, of Brampton. He was killed in the parking lot of Woodbine Mall, at Rexdale Boulevard and Highway 27.<\/p>\n

Police in both York and Toronto said earlier that in both cases the victims were targeted, but a link between the two killings and motive have not been established.<\/p>\n
