South Simco Police are set to seek help from the Toronto gay community on Thursday in a murder case involving a body found in Bradford last month.
In a press release, police said they would provide a 13-hour update on the death of 37-year-old Mojtaba Shabani.
They will release a new photo of Shabani and address the LGBTQ2S + community in Toronto.
Shabani’s remains were discovered by kayakers in the Bradford Canal, near Canal and Simcoe Roads, on April 15.
The cause of his death has not been revealed, but after an autopsy, police determined it was a murder.
Police said Shabani moved from Iran to Canada in 2010. They added that he had ties to Toronto and appeared to be “living a transitional lifestyle”.
Police earlier released descriptions of three vehicles they said were registered with Shabani. These are the 2004 gray Honda Accord with registration number ‘CHAW891’, the 2001 blue Honda Civic with registration number ‘BVHR490’ and the 2003 red Volkswagen with registration number ‘CFPC027’.
Police continue to ask anyone with information to contact them anonymously or with Crime Stoppers.
