Devontay Hackett, 18, wanted on charge of 2nd-degree murder

​Devontay Hackett, an 18-year-old Ottawa man, is wanted by police in connection with the June 7 stabbing death of Brandon Volpi outside of a downtown Ottawa hotel.

Hackett is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant, and Ottawa police say he could still be in Ottawa.

He is facing a single charge of second-degree murder.

Hackett is described by police as a light brown-skinned man, standing six feet tall and weighing 135 pounds, with short brown hair and brown eyes.

​Anyone with information on Hackett's whereabouts or the Saturday incident is asked to call the major crimes unit at 613-236-1222, extension 5493, or Crime Stoppers 613-233-8477.

Volpi, also 18, was found stabbed outside of Les Suites Hotel on Besserer Street early Saturday morning. 

Students from three Catholic high schools in the city's south end — St. Joseph's, St. Pius X and St. Patrick's — were staying at the hotel that night, celebrating graduation.

Volpi was a student at St. Patrick’s High School, while Hackett attends St. Pius X.
