Durham Regional Police say a suspect connected to the 2023 Pickering Casino security guard shooting has been arrested, with details indicating the individual was located outside the province and is being returned to face charges as the investigation continues. The victim, Michael Ferdinand, 34, was shot at the Pickering Casino Resort on October 9, 2023, and died shortly after at a hospital. Reports indicate the suspect was arrested in Saskatoon on a Canada-wide warrant related to the case, and authorities are coordinating to transport him to Ontario. Earlier updates noted a separate Canada-wide warrant for a 17-year-old suspect with ties to Toronto’s Jane and Finch area, and a $25,000 reward had been offered for information. Police emphasize ongoing collaboration with partner agencies and a commitment to pursuing all legal avenues, underscoring the extended, community-involved nature of this long-running investigation. Community awareness and public tip lines such as Crime Stoppers were highlighted as important elements in advancing the case.
