Police are in pursuit of a man connected to a shooting incident three months ago and are advising the public against approaching him due to his perceived danger. This development coincides with the arrest of another individual in relation to the tragic death of a police officer during a raid in Toronto, Canada.
Zara Jabbi, aged 19, is being sought in connection with a shooting that occurred at the US Consulate in March. Authorities have cautioned that he is armed and considered dangerous. Law enforcement officials emphasized the importance of not engaging with him but instead contacting 911 immediately upon sighting him. A photo of the 19-year-old has been circulated to aid in his apprehension.
As Toronto readies to host its first FIFA World Cup match, with fans from various countries gathering in Canada, Mexico, and the US, Jabbi remains on the run. The city’s inaugural World Cup fixture is scheduled for Friday, June 12, featuring Canada against Bosnia and Herzegovina at Toronto Stadium.
Following the tragic loss of Constable Marc Pinizzotto, officers have expressed appreciation for the support received from the public. Constable Pinizzotto was fatally injured during duty on June 11, as part of a high-risk search warrant operation involving five simultaneous warrants. Another suspect was shot by the police during the operation and is currently hospitalized.
Nicholas Bennett, a 19-year-old from Toronto, is facing a First Degree Murder charge related to the death of Constable Pinizzotto. Authorities have confirmed that Jabbi is still evading capture and is wanted in connection with the March incident at the US Consulate.
Acknowledging the public’s inquiries, the police stated, “Given the ongoing investigation, there are limitations to the information we can disclose at this time. Further updates will be provided as soon as possible.”
