Zara Jabbi, 19, wanted in connection with a shooting at the US Consulate in March. Police said that he “is considered armed and dangerous.”

“If you see him, do not approach. Call 911 immediately,” police added.

The 19-year-old’s image has been released to help in locating him.

He remains at large hours before Toronto is set to host its first match of the FIFA World Cup, with fans from around the world have flocked to cities across Canada and co-hosts Mexico and the US.
