Toronto police are urging the suspect in the murders of two women who were found dead in a home last week to surrender.

Police say they are still searching for Joseph Ayala, 33, who is wanted for second-degree murder.

Police say they received a call on Friday for a well-being check at a house in Etobicoke and found the women.

They say the suspect and the women were related.

Ayala is described as five-foot-11, with a shaved head, and police say he is known to wear a cowboy hat, black cowboy boots and a jacket with tassels on the sleeve.

Police say anyone who sees him should call 911 and not approach him, as he is considered dangerous.
