Bolo Program Top 25 Update: Mohamed SHIRE featured as no 10 on Canada’s most wanted list
(Ottawa)—A reward of up to $50,000 is being offered by the Bolo Program, in cooperation with National Capital Area Crime Stoppers, for information leading to the arrest of Mohamed SHIRE, 34 years old, from Toronto, who is wanted on First degree murder charges.
SHIRE is tenth on Canada’s most wanted fugitive list issued today. The reward was part of numerous rewards announced by the Bolo Program as it updated its list of Canada’s Top 25 most wanted fugitives.
He is wanted for the murder of Abdulaziz Abdullah and Mohamed Abdullah in May 2021 on Alta Vista Drive, in Ottawa.
“We look forward to working with the Bolo Program to help amplify the message to help identify the whereabouts of this wanted suspect,” said National Capital Area Crime Stoppers President, Richard McMullen.
“The Ottawa Police wishes to acknowledge the support of the Bolo Program and National Capital Area Crime Stoppers with a reward that will no doubt raise public awareness about this fugitive,” said Ottawa Police Service Homicide Unit Sgt. Chris O’Brien. “The Homicide Unit is seeking public tips to locate and arrest Mohamed SHIRE, so he can be held accountable for his actions before the courts and bring some level of closure to the grieving families.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Ottawa Police Service Homicide Unit at 613-236-1222 ext. 5493.
