Hamilton police say they have charged a man with first-degree murder in the 2023 shooting death of Daniel Musafiri after uncovering evidence while investigating another case.
Hamilton police say a man has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the 2023 shooting death of 29-year-old Daniel Musafiri.
During the course of investigating another incident, detectives obtained new information that linked a suspect to Musafiri’s death.
Police said investigators were able to build on evidence gathered in the early stages of the case, which led to the identification of Erik Kalanyos, 29, of Hamilton, who was already in custody on an unrelated matter.
Kalanvos has now been arrested and charged with first-degree murder, police said.
In a statement, Musafiri’s mother, Mosengo Immaculee, described the devastating impact her son’s death has had on her life.
“My life was completely shattered when my son was killed,” she said. Immaculee said she had already lost her husband and that losing her son has left her “broken.”
Police said officers responded to reports of shots fired around 10:48 p.m. on Dec. 29, 2023, in the area of York Boulevard and Queen Street North.
When officers arrived, they found Musafiri suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
