Winnipeg police say a man wanted for first-degree murder is believed to be in the Ottawa area.

The Winnipeg and Ottawa police services and Ontario Provincial Police all posted on social media Wednesday asking for the public’s help in finding Tresor Horimbere, 22.

Police said Tuesday that he could be in Ontario but were more specific Wednesday.

A warrant for first-degree murder has been issued for 22-year-old Tresor Horimbere. Police previously said he might be in Ontario but were more specific Wednesday.

A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for Horimbere. Two other men, who are in custody, have been charged with first-degree murder for the fatal shooting of Mohamed Yusuf Abdullahi, 22. Abdullahi was slain in the parking lot of the Ralph Cantafio Soccer Complex on the night of July 13.

Horimbere “is considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached if encountered,” the WPS said Tuesday.

Horimbere was an acquaintance of Abdullahi, the WPS said.

Horimbere is also wanted by the OPP for alleged firearms offences in an unrelated incident in Hawkesbury, a town east of Ottawa, in 2023. OPP spokesman Const. Eric Ranger said Tuesday that Horimbere is being sought for his alleged involvement in a robbery.

Winnipeg police asked anyone with information about Horimbere’s whereabouts to call 911 or its homicide unit at 204-986-6508, or to contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 204-786-8477 (TIPS) or online.
