Suspect sought after American man killed in Toronto stabbing

Toronto police say they are looking for a suspect after an American man died following a stabbing in Toronto’s east end.

Police and paramedics were called to an apartment building on Eglinton Avenue East, just west of Midland Avenue, at around 5:10 p.m. on Jan. 13.

The victim was identified by police as 25-year-old Mohamed Jeylani from Minnesota. He was later pronounced dead in hospital, police said.

The death marked Toronto’s first homicide of 2021.

On Sunday, police said 24-year-old Guled Mohamad, from Toronto, is wanted on a warrant for second-degree murder.

Police said the suspect is “believed to be armed and dangerous. If located, do not approach. Call 911 immediately.”
