An international manhunt for one of Canada’s most wanted men, suspected of murdering a bodybuilder, has ended in a four-storey apartment building in Luton.
Adrian Gordon, 24, fled the scene after the May killing, with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police warning the public that he was “armed, violent and dangerous.”
He was charged with first-degree murder in connection with the killing of champion bodybuilder Jesse Tubbs, 30, who was found shot to death in a drug neighborhood.
He was found lying on the ground with “obvious signs” of trauma and later died of his injuries in a Toronto hospital.

A worldwide search for Gordon describes him as a man of 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 130 pounds, of slim build, with short black hair, clean-shaven and brown eyes.
Officers received a tip-off that Gordon was in Luton and requested his extradition from the National Crime Agency in London.
Gordon was arrested at The Martindales housing estate in Bedfordshire.
Residents of the building called it “crazy” that he was found there and said he “kept to himself and was polite.”
Student Pavel Klimowicz told The Sun: ‘I woke up to a huge scream and later heard that the police had searched the building and arrested him.
“It’s crazy to know he’s one of Canada’s most wanted men. There are children and families here, so thank God nothing worse happened.”
