A 24-year-old Hamilton man is facing charges of second-degree murder in connection with the death of a 22-year-old Kitchener woman.

Waterloo Regional Police are trying to locate 24-year-old Ager Mohsin Hasan after reports he may have been spotted in Pennsylvania. A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for his arrest.

Police were called to an apartment building on Country Hill Drive around 3:00 a.m. Friday where they found a 22-year-old woman who was deceased.

Waterloo Regional Police told CBC News in an email that a post-mortem conducted on Friday determined the cause of death was multiple stab wounds.

According to a release from the Pennsylvania State Police, a person matching Hasan's description was seen removing a Pennsylvania licence plate from a vehicle at about 10:18 a.m. Friday at a Walmart on Buffalo Road in Harbourcreek Township, PA.

State police said the licence plate is Pennsylvania registration EZV1654 and had a Fraternal Order of Police medallion emblem attached to it. They allege Hasan attached a stolen licence plate to a black Honda HRV and fled the scene.

The Honda HRV may have also been displaying Ontario licence plate BPKT509.

Inspector Haffner said investigators are continuing to work with U.S. law enforcement agencies.
