OTTAWA – A section of Richeleau Park in Vanier is taped off as police search for evidence in connection to an unsolved murder back in 2009.

According to the Citizen, it’s believed police are searching for a gun used in the shooting death of Mohamed Jama Ali at a ByWard Market bar in May of that year.

Police would only confirm they are searching the area, bordered by the north end of St. Laurent Avenue and Hemlock Road, with equipment including metal detectors.
