Nationwide manhunt launched for suspect in two separate Ontario murders

Two Ontario police departments have issued Canada-wide warrants for the arrest of a man wanted in connection with two separate fatal shootings.

Isaiah Thomas Badger, 19, of Edmonton, is a suspect in both incidents, which took place less than two weeks apart at shopping plazas — the first in Vaughan and the most recent in the west end of Toronto.

On Jan. 26, Sergio Lopes, 65, of Richmond Hill, was gunned down in Vaughan at Rowntree Dairy Road and Winges Road. York Regional Police are also looking for Jacob Wallace, 19, of Mississauga, in connection with that  case.

Police are also searching for Jacob Wallace of Mississauga.

On Feb. 7, Chandan Kumar Raja Nandakumar, 37, of Brampton, was shot and killed in the parking lot of Woodbine Mall, at Rexdale Boulevard and Highway 27, according to Toronto Police.

Police in both York and Toronto say in both cases the victim was targeted, but a link between the two killings and motive have not been established.
