Cops are hunting a 23-year-old Hamilton in a manslaughter probe that stemmed from a derailed dope deal.
According to detectives, on Oct. 23, 2023, officers were called to a report of shots fired in the Herkimer St. area.
At the scene, they found Tito “Grizz” Kelly, 36, fatally shot. Investigators believe the father-of-three’s death was an isolated incident linked to the drug world.
Kelly and the two suspects allegedly exchanged gunfire..
Earlier this month, investigators arrested and charged Donte Smith of Brampton with manslaughter. He remains in custody after a gambit for bail was torpedoed at a hearing on July 11.
Now, cops are hunting Albert Hyseni, 22, of Hamilton, who was injured in the shootout and taken to hospital where he was treated and released. He is now wanted for manslaughter.
Hyseni is described as white, 5-foot-10 with average build and curly dark brown hair and brown eyes. He sometimes wears a goatee and beard. An image of him was not released.
Cops advise to call 911 immediately if spotted and contact Det. Sgt. Sara Beck of the Homicide Unit at 905-546-3829 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 with information.
Meanwhile, Hamilton cops are also searching for Faizan Ali, 24, who was convicted in the May 2021 death of a motorcyclist.
According to cops, Ali was sentenced to 11 years in prison for multiple convictions, including four counts of failure to comply with a release order, possession for trafficking and four firearms-related offences.
Faizan was released pending sentencing but on the big day he failed to appear to begin his long jolt in jail.
He is also wanted for three more counts of failing to comply with a release order and two counts of failing to comply with his probation rules.
He is described as South Asian, 5-foot-9, and 194 pounds. Detectives believe he is hiding in the Hamilton area but he also has connections to nearby communities. If you see Faizan, do not approach him and instead call 911.
If you have information that could assist in locating Faizan Ali, contact the Fugitive Apprehension Unit at 905-540-6431 or Crime Stoppers.
