Major crime detectives are asking the public to help them identify a man who may be a witness in the stabbing death of teenaged Zakaria Iqbal in the Vanier district last month.

The man is described as black, 25 to 30 years old, five feet six inches tall with a slim build and wearing baggy jeans, a Nike hoodie and a black baseball cap. At the time, he had a cast on his left hand and wrist.

Iqbal, who had just turned 18, was stabbed to death Nov. 27 behind a building on Montreal Road at Lajoie Street known as a trouble spot to police and to residents. Iqbal and his friends were believed to have visited a unit to smoke marijuana purchased at a nearby dispensary before the stabbing, this newspaper reported last month.

Iqbal had recently graduated from Gloucester High School, where he played basketball, and was taking university courses with an eye to studying business. A cousin called him a loyal friend and loving son and said his family was heartbroken.

His killing was Ottawa’s 14th homicide of 2017.

Anyone with information regarding this investigation is asked to call the major crime section at 613-236-1222, ext. 5493. Anonymous tips can be made to Crime Stoppers toll-free at 1-800-222-8477 or by downloading the Ottawa Police app.
