—@HomicideTeamA warrant has been issued for Teixeira's arrest but so far he has eluded police.
"We believe the reward offered by Crime Stoppers will provide an extra incentive to those with intimate knowledge of Mr. Teixeira's current whereabouts to come forward," said IHIT spokesman Cpl. Frank Jang.
Police says Teixeira is extremely violent and considered to be armed and dangerous.
On Sept. 14, police said they believed Teixeira was still in the Lower Mainland, but urged people in Edmonton and Calgary to be on the lookout because of Teixeira's known associates in those cities.
Teixeira is described as:
- White
- 178 cm (5 feet 10 inches), 73 kg (161 pounds)
- Brown eyes and hair
- Snake tattoo on left side of chest
- Sleeve tattoo on left arm
IHIT says tipsters will remain anonymous. Anyone with information on Teixeira is urged to contact Crime Stoppers by phone at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or on the website www.solvecrime.ca.
