Windsor Wanted

Official public wanted notices only, as listed by police and retrieved on 10 November 2026. These are allegations. Anyone named is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court. Wanted notices come only from police and link to the police source.

Do not confront, follow or approach anyone. Report it and let police act. Members of the public have no authority to detain these people. Call 911 if someone is in danger. For information, call the contact number on the official notice.

Photos and details released by police. Do not approach; call 911 or the police service.

Anyone named is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court. Wanted notices come only from police and link to the police source.

We follow court publication bans and won't name youth or victims where the law protects them.

Every entry below is taken from the official Wanted in Windsor page, retrieved 10 November 2026. Each card links back to that source. This desk does not add suspects from social media or from unofficial accounts. If police withdraw a notice, it should come off this list. The desk checks the official list and keeps this page current.

Police may list alleged events that began before 2026. This page still uses only notices that were on the official 2026 wanted list on the retrieval date. It does not keep an archive of older lists.

See also the official Windsor Police Most Wanted page and the OPP Most Wanted page. On 10 November 2026 the desk checked official wanted and most-wanted lists from other services that cover this area. One active Ontario Provincial Police Most Wanted notice is tied to Windsor and is shown below. Essex County OPP does not publish a separate local wanted list. A line below those cards records the services checked and what was found.

How to turn yourself in

Windsor Watchers is a news desk, not a police service. We cannot arrange a surrender, speak to police for you, or give legal advice. If someone is in danger now, call 911.

  1. Talk to a lawyer first.

    Community Legal Education Ontario's Steps to Justice guide says that if there is a warrant for your arrest, you should talk to a lawyer before you turn yourself in. A lawyer can contact the police and help you arrange the surrender, and can help you make a plan of release. (Steps to Justice, reviewed 31 December 2016)

    Free legal help is available from Legal Aid Ontario, if you qualify:

  2. Go to the police service that issued the warrant, or call them.

    Go to the front desk during the public hours published below, or call the non-emergency number for that service. The official police pages we checked do not publish a separate guide on how to surrender, and they do not say that you must bring identification.

    Ontario Provincial Police (Essex County)

    • 24-hour toll-free line, anywhere in Ontario: 1-888-310-1122 (TTY 1-888-310-1133). The OPP lists this number for both emergency and non-emergency calls. In an emergency, call 911.

    A 5 May 2022 notice shared by the Essex County OPP Detachment says detachment phones are answered Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. by administrative staff, and that every OPP detachment has a phone at the front entrance that connects to the OPP Communications Centre. For a non-urgent need to speak with an officer, they ask the public to call 1-888-310-1122.

    Sources: Ontario Provincial Police, Contact us; Town of Essex, Police Services; and a Municipality of Lakeshore notice shared on behalf of the Essex County OPP Detachment.

    The Steps to Justice guide also says that when you go to a police station, do not bring personal property or your car with you, and that you may want to write down phone numbers for family or friends who might be willing to act as a surety. That is legal information from Community Legal Education Ontario, not a police instruction. (Steps to Justice)

This page is not legal advice. Windsor Watchers cannot arrange a surrender. If someone is in danger, call 911.

Also listed by police as Lay. Official circular dated 7 May 2008 (GHQ Special Circular 08-03). A poster on the same official page is dated 15 November 2016. This notice was still on the official OPP Most Wanted list on 10 November 2026.

Charges listed by police: First degree murder.

The official OPP notice says that in April 2002, after the remains of 18-year-old Riad Baroud were found off Vasic Line in Chatham-Kent, the OPP Criminal Investigation Branch started a homicide investigation. Police allege that on 22 April 2002, Sychantha and an accomplice took Baroud by force from the City of Windsor, and that Baroud was bound, restrained and beaten, and later died of those injuries. The official notice says the body was then left in a bush lot in Chatham-Kent and was found on 25 April 2002. Police say Sychantha later left Canada for Laos, and that he may have returned and could be living in Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver under another name.

Contact: Ontario Provincial Police, 1-888-310-1122. The official notice also directs information to the Director of the OPP Criminal Investigation Branch.

Do not confront, follow or approach anyone. Report it and let police act. Call 911 if there is danger.

The official notice also includes a provincial reward offer. That offer is from the Government of Ontario, not from Windsor Watchers. See the official page for its terms.
