Hamilton Police Major Crime Unit is searching for a person of interest from a homicide last summer.

On Sunday, September 23, 2018, just after 4:00 a.m., 19-year-old Natshon Defreitas was shot and killed at an after-hours party held at 470 Beach Rd. in Hamilton. Detectives from the Major Crime unit continue to investigate and are requesting the assistance of the public to help identify a person of interest.
