A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for an Oshawa man wanted for stabbing two women, one fatally.

On March 12, around 4 a.m., Durham Regional Police were called to an address on Simcoe Street following reports that a person was armed.

Officers arrived to find two women suffering from stab wounds. Both victims were rushed to a Toronto trauma centre, where one woman died from her injuries. She was later identified as 26-year-old Katie Kainz.

The second woman remains in the hospital with critical injuries but is stable.

Police have issued a Canada-wide warrant for 37-year-old Adam Odette of Oshawa, who is wanted on second-degree murder and attempted murder.

Investigators are urging Odette to turn himself in, adding that anyone found guilty of assisting him in evading arrest will face charges.

A man with the same name was arrested and charged in separate violent incidents in February and May 2021, where two men were stabbed and seriously injured. Both victims survived.

Odette, 35 at the time, was arrested with two counts of aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a weapon dangerous to the public.
