Halifax Regional Police have obtained a Canada-wide warrant in connection with a homicide in Dartmouth, N.S., on Saturday.

Police are looking for Tyreece Alexander Whynder-Ewing, 27, who's been charged with second-degree murder in the death of Alexander Joseph Frederick Thomas

Police were called to a home on Braeside Court in Dartmouth early Saturday for a report of an unresponsive man. Officers found Thomas dead inside. An autopsy later confirmed his death was a homicide.

Halifax Regional Police Const. John MacLeod said Thomas was shot and that he and Whynder-Ewing knew one another. MacLeod wouldn't say what their connection was.

MacLeod said the killing is not believed to be a random act and they are not looking for any other suspects.
