“This guy really needs to be caught and tried,” Craig McCoy said in a video post.
Police have issued an arrest warrant for Alexander Jolly, wanted for first-degree murder in the death of Nicole Mercer.
Police say officers found Mercer, 22, critically injured in the early morning hours of July 29 outside a home on Prospect Street.  She was pronounced dead at the hospital, having suffered a gunshot wound.
“Her life had to be taken, way too soon,” McCoy said.  “Her son hurts every day because of it.”
Mercer and McCoy share a child.  The boy lost his mother before his fifth birthday, leaving her family in shock as police urge Jolie to hand herself in.
“What we’re asking is that he seek legal counsel. Turn himself in,” said York Regional Police Const.  Amy Boudreau.
In 2018, Jolly was wanted by police after an armed robbery in Newmarket.
Jolley and another suspect were accused of approaching a victim on bicycles with their faces covered, demanding his backpack.  Police say the victim tried to run away and one of the suspects pulled a knife, cutting the victim’s arm.
At the time, police posted on social media that Jolie was “one of two men who robbed an 18-year-old.”  At 19, he faced charges including robbery and assault with a weapon.
Now 23, he is wanted again, this time as part of a homicide investigation.
“I don’t think it’s fair that he’s out there living his life right now,” McCoy said.
“Anytime there’s a loss of life like this, it affects a lot of people and we’re going to do our best to continue to try to locate him so that justice can be served to the family,” Boudreau added.
Jolly is six feet two inches tall with a slim build, fair complexion, straight brown hair and blue eyes.

Police encourage anyone with information about Jolie’s whereabouts or the investigation to contact the Homicide Unit at 1-866-876-5423 ext. 7865 or via email. Anonymous tips can be made with Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
