Durham Regional Police have issued a Canada-wide arrest warrant for a 25-year-old Pickering man in connection with a homicide in the city last spring.
Kane Booth is wanted for first-degree murder in the death of 47-year-old Joshua Ibbitson, Durham Regional Police said.
Officers were called to the area of Fairport Road and Third Concession Road in Pickering on April 30, 2025 for a check on well-being. When they arrived, police located a deceased male inside a vehicle.
The coroner attended the scene and a post-mortem examination later determined the death was a homicide.
Booth is described as a white male, 5'11" with a slim build, light brown hair and brown eyes.
Investigators say they have confirmed Booth has left the country. No further details about where he may have gone were released.
