TORONTO — Toronto police are looking for a 33-year-old man after two women were found dead in a west-end home.

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

They say the man and women were related.

Joseph Ayala is wanted for second-degree murder.

He 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.

People are being urged to call 911 and to not approach if they see the man, as he is considered dangerous.
