Warrant issued for “armed and dangerous” Hamilton man wanted in July 2023 downtown shooting

Hamilton Police have released images of a suspect in a shooting in downtown Hamilton from last July.

An arrest warrant has also been issued for Hamilton resident Habiton Solomon, 21, for five gun-related charges, including discharge firearm with intent and reckless discharge of firearm.

There were no reported injuries from the incident.

Police are continuing to investigate this matter and are seeking the public’s assistance for the known whereabouts of Solomon, who should be considered armed and dangerous. If located, please do not approach and contact police immediately.
