After making four arrests in connection with the 2020 murder of 18-year-old Alex Tobin in Omemee, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is seeking a fifth suspect.
Police have obtained a Canada-wide warrant for the arrest of 29-year-old Clinton “Trizzy” McDonald, of no fixed address, who is charged with accessory after the fact in the murder of Tobin.
Tobin was shot in his girlfriend’s apartment at 36 King Street East in Omemee on February 18, 2020 and later died in hospital.
McDonald is known to use aliases and to regularly change his physical appearance. Anyone who recognizes McDonald should not approach him but should instead contact their local police service. Police are also urging McDonald to contact legal counsel and turn himself in to the nearest police service.
Five people have now been charged in connection with Tobin’s murder.
On May 13, the OPP announced 26-year-old Jeremy Brown was charged with second-degree murder and two counts of failing to comply with the condition of a release order.
On May 27, police announced 21-year-old Dawson Tullock of Oshawa was charged with accessory after the fact (murder) and 76-year-old Oswald Brown and 31-year-old Jordan Brown, both of Ajax, with two counts each of party to the offence of failure to comply with release conditions.
Tullock was remanded into custody and is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Lindsay on June 23.
Oswald and Jordan Brown were released from police custody and are scheduled to appear in court on June 23.
A $50,000 reward continues to be offered for anyone with information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for Tobin’s murder.
