  "account": "Two Ottawa men, Joseph Madore, 34, and Brayton Kennedy, 28, remain the subject of an ongoing search for their alleged involvement in a first-degree murder case. The incident, which took place in Perth, Ontario in April, resulted in the death of a victim who was found suffering life-threatening injuries at Last Duel Park. Officers promptly responded to the scene, but the victim succumbed to their injuries at a trauma center.\n\nFollowing the tragedy, two individuals were subsequently arrested in relation to the incident. One of the arrested individuals faces charges of accessory after the fact to murder, while the other is charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Initially, the OPP had warrants out for Madore and Kennedy under the charge of second-degree murder; however, these charges were later upgraded to first-degree murder.\n\nAccording to investigators, Madore is now believed to be traveling through the backcountry in British Columbia, while Kennedy may be in New Brunswick. Those with information regarding the whereabouts of the suspects are urged to contact the police to assist in the ongoing search.",
