The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are issuing an arrest warrant for a 61-year-old man believed to be responsible for the death of a Leamington woman.
On Wednesday, members of the Essex County OPP were called to a home on Sherk Street to do a well-being check on 83-year-old Anita Goodings. Instead, they found her dead and determined her death to be a homicide.
Officers have since charged 61-year-old Kevin Goodings with second degree murder. The OPP did not specify if and how the two may be related.
Goodings is caucasian, 5'11", and 180 lbs with a medium build, green eyes, white hair, and a white goatee. He also has several tattoos such as a Ying yang symbol on his right forearm, a panther on his left forearm, Chinese writing on his neck, and a lightning bolt on his right hand.
Police say Goodings is dangerous and a risk to public safety.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact Essex County OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
