But an argument between two old pals apparently escalated into something far more serious on the weekend, and now police are alleging one turned on the other in a chilling murder downtown.
Cops were called to the King and Dufferin area around 1am Sunday morning after receiving reports a man had been shot.
That’s where they found 23-year-old Jesse Batisse suffering from life threatening injuries. He later died in hospital from a gunshot wound to the torso.
Authorities named 20-year-old Thomas Lawrence Doucette as the main suspect in the murder on Christmas Day, and have charged him with first degree murder.
They’ve now issued a picture of the wanted man, which contains the best clue for finding him – a picture of the distinctive tattoo on the back of his neck.
He’s described as:
- 5’8″,
- 154 lbs.,
- Short, brown hair,
- Hazel eyes.
Doucette is known to have family in Niagara Falls but detectives believe he’s hiding out in the city.
Call (416) 808-7418 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at (416) 222-TIPS if you know where he is.
