Police are searching for a 28-year-old man wanted for attempted murder in connection with a shooting in downtown Toronto late last year.

The shooting happened in an area outside a nightclub on Church Street just south of Front Street East in the early morning hours of Dec. 3, 2022.

Police say the suspect became involved in an altercation when he shot and severely injured another man.

Javell Jackson of Toronto is wanted for attempted murder, unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm contrary to a prohibition order, and failing to comply with a release order.

Authorities warn anyone assisting him could face criminal charges.
