After more than a week on the run, the suspect in the murder of Christopher Clements-Card has turned himself in.

London police announced on Friday afternoon that Zachary McDermott, 18, of London surrendered to police at approximately 11 a.m. He is charged with first degree murder and attempted murder by discharging a firearm.

The firearm that was used has yet to be found, according to police.

An arrest warrant for McDermott was issued on September 14.

Two other men, Abel Tesfalem, 19, and Joseph Sibo, 19, were arrested in relation to the murder. They are charged with being an occupant in a motor vehicle with a firearm.

Police are still investigating. Anyone with information in relation to this incident is asked to call the London Police Service at (519) 661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Information can also be sent in on-line anonymously to www.londoncrimestoppers.com
