A 43-year-old woman who fled criminal charges in Canada has been extradited from Jamaica to face justice in her homeland.

The woman, identified as Debbie Sue Jones, was wanted by Toronto Police for second-degree murder.

Jones was arrested by operatives from the Jamaica Fugitive Apprehension Team (JFAT), part of the Specialized Investigation Branch (SIB), on January 19, 2026. Authorities said she later waived her right to an extradition hearing.

She was formally handed over to Canadian law enforcement officials at the Norman Manley International Airport on March 6.

According to reports, Jones and another assailant allegedly shot and killed a 42-year-old man in Toronto on September 30, 2024, before fleeing to Jamaica.

Superintendent of Police Oral Henry of the SIB said Jamaica will not serve as a refuge for individuals seeking to avoid prosecution in other jurisdictions.

“Our island will not be a sanctuary for those seeking to evade prosecution in other countries. Our investigators will continue to pursue alleged offenders with all available resources and are committed to maintaining the integrity of our borders, with the support of our international partners,” Henry said.
