The victim was accompanied by two other males, one of which left immediately after they dropped the victim off.  The victim was pronounced deceased a short time later. He is now identified as a 16-year-old male youth from the City of Montreal.

A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for a 27-year-old woman from Mississauga for his murder. 

Wanted:

Officers are also looking to identify a man in relation to this incident and are appealing to the public to help locate a suspect vehicle, a 2013 Mercedes C300 white, with black tinted windows and Quebec licence plate X25SWG.

Investigators have now determined the individuals involved are part of a larger auto theft ring and have issued warrants for two additional suspects. Details of the wanted parties and their charges can be found on the accompanying charge list here: https://tinyurl.com/yvsdpk6n
