In a past police appeal to the public, 49-year-old Andrew Galea—of no fixed address—was allegedly identified as the individual wanted in connection with the homicide.
Residents were urged to exercise caution, as Galea was considered armed. Anyone who spotted him was advised to dial 911 immediately and avoid approaching him.
On Friday (May 3) Galea was arrested and charged with second-degree murder.
He was also held for a bail hearing.
Anyone with information about this investigation is asked to contact the Homicide and Missing Persons Bureau at 905-453-2121 extension 3205.
