Officers stopped a vehicle for speeding and illegally tinted windows and soon discovered what they believed to be "proceeds of crime," RCMP Const. Jennifer Weedmark said during a news conference Wednesday. The officers soon learned the man was wanted by Toronto police on a Canada-wide arrest warrant for two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder. RCMP declined to identify the suspect because he was a youth at the time of the 2018 slayings of Smart, 21, and Modekwe, 28, who was known in Toronto's hip hop community as Koba Prime.
