Police have released images of a man wanted in connection with a reported murder in Brampton, Ont., on Wednesday.

Peel Regional Police said a stabbing happened at around 8:30 am that day in the Baycliffe Crescent and Crossbill Road area, near Creditview Road and Bovaird Drive.

The incident was reported in an apartment complex where police said an altercation between two men took place. During that fight, the victim was fatally stabbed and the suspect fled the scene, investigators said.

Police said they did not believe the incident was random and said the suspect and victim were known to each other.

Peel Regional Police said they were looking for Andrew Galea, 49, of no fixed address. He faces a charge of second-degree murder.

“As this incident involved a weapon, members of the public who saw Andrew should consider him armed; they are reminded to dial 9-1-1 immediately and not to approach,” a police media release advised.
