Second arrest made in connection with Ontario shopping plaza murders

A person accused of the shooting deaths of two Ontario men has been captured by police.

Nineteen-year-old Isaiah Thomas Badger was arrested in Calgary after weeks on the run.

A Canada-wide warrant was issued for Badger following shootings that took place weeks apart earlier this year at plazas located in Vaughan and Etobicoke.

He now faces two charges of first-degree murder.

On Jan. 26, Sergio Lopes, 65, of Richmond Hill, was gunned down in Vaughan at a plaza near Rowntree Dairy Road and Winges Road in Vaughan.

Then, 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.

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

A second person linked to the shootings, Jacob Wallace, 19, was arrested in the remote northern Ontario town of Moosonee on March 5. He is charged with first-degree murder.
