Police received a call about an unknown problem in the area of Queen Street West between Portland Street and Augusta Avenue at the edge of the city’s fashion district on Oct. 22 just before 1 a.m.
At that time, police said, witnesses heard gunshots and several people were seen fleeing the area.
When officers arrived, they found a man on the ground outside with a gunshot wound.
He was pronounced dead on the spot and identified as 38-year-old Petros Alexandros Madimenos.
He is the city’s 57th homicide victim of the year.
No suspect information was released at this time. However, in a press release issued Thursday, police identified Sarkis Sogutlu, 28, of Toronto as the suspect.
Sogutlou is wanted on a charge of second-degree murder in connection with the shooting.
Investigators said he is believed to be armed and dangerous.
“If spotted, do not approach. Call 911 immediately,” police said.
An image of Sogutlu has been released by police in an attempt to track him down.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact Toronto police at 416-808-7400, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477) or www.222tips.com.
