Police offer $50K reward in unsolved 2024 homicide near Jackson Square

Hamilton police are offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in the shooting death of a 19-year-old man near Jackson Square almost one year ago.

The Hamilton Police Service Board made the decision in a meeting Thursday in an effort to advance the investigation.

The shooting happened shortly after 1 p.m. on March 6, 2024 in the area of King Street West and MacNab Street South.

Detectives say Alexander Circiumaru was walking on a sidewalk when a male suspect got out of a vehicle and shot at him several times before fleeing westbound on King Street West.

Investigators recovered a black Honda Civic involved in the shooting in Hamilton’s east end nearly two weeks after the incident.

Anyone with further information regarding this shooting is asked to contact Det. Andrew Grant by calling 905-546-3874.
