Toronto police have identified Michael Teddy Gibson, 29, as a suspect in the fatal April 2 shooting of 27-year-old Julian Weekes.

Police say Gibson is wanted for first-degree murder. They also say he is considered armed and dangerous and that anyone who encounters him or knows of his whereabouts should call 911.

Weekes was found dead outside a Shell gas station at the corner of Parliament and Richmond Street East just after 2 a.m. on April 2. However, police say he was shot more than a block away outside the Fuse Bar at 366 Queen St. E.

Weekes had been shot multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after emergency crews arrived. Police followed a blood trail from the spot where Weekes died to the bar where the shooting took place.

Toronto police Det.-Sgt. Michael Patterson said Weekes and Gibson "were known to each other" and that "it would appear that Weekes did not feel Gibson was a threat" on the night of the shooting. Both men lived in the Regent Park neighbourhood.

Gibson also had a "lengthy" criminal record, police say.

At a news conference Monday, Patterson implored Gibson to contact a lawyer and turn himself in to police. He said Gibson is the only suspect police are seeking in the killing.

Patterson also said there are eye witnesses to the shooting who have yet to speak to police. He asked anyone with information to come forward and speak to investigators.

On the night he died, Weekes had been attending a memorial at another bar for his friend Ceyon Carrington, who was shot and killed on March 23 in Leslieville. Police said Monday they have not found any connection between the Carrington homicide and Weekes's killing.

Police said there is an "abundance" of video evidence but would not say Monday whether Weekes's killing was captured on camera.
