An arrest warrant has been issued for a Toronto man in connection to the kidnapping of Elnaz Hajtamiri.
OPP said public tips came in after photos of three suspects were released in mid-February, and police identified one of the suspects as 35-year-old Deshawn Davis.
Davis is described as Black, approximately 185 cm (six-foot-three) tall, and weighing 69 kg (152 lbs.). He has tattoos on his neck and forearm; on his right forearm is 'Finch West', while an angel with a gun is tattooed on his left forearm.

Police ask that the public share the message on social media using the hashtag #BringElnazHome.
Hajtamiri, who was 37 at the time, was abducted from the Wasaga Beach home of a relative on Jan. 12, 2022 by three individuals dressed in police gear, but not uniforms, and fleeing the scene in what is believed to be a white Lexus RX.
Police are also still looking to identify one, or potentially two, individuals of interest who rented vehicles in December, 2021. They are not suspects in the kidnapping, but police would like to speak with them as they may have information related to this case.
Hajtamiri is approximately five feet three inches tall with a slim build. She had shoulder-length black hair, but it had been cut to a shorter length before she was abducted.
