Police seek second suspect in Canadian philanthropist murder
Two months after the murder of Canada's biggest environment philanthropist, Toronto Police have released video of a second possible suspect in the slaying.
66-year-old Glen Davis was gunned down May 18, 2007 in a Toronto parking garage after leaving the headquarters of the World Wildlife Fund.
The murder has shocked and outraged Davis's friends and environmental groups.
The Earth Keeper Initiative in Marquette, Michigan joins other environment groups in urging the public to provide tips to Toronto Police.
Earth Keeper volunteer media advisor Greg Peterson reports that Toronto Police want to talk with anyone who recognizes the two persons of interest in the photographs and videotapes.

Toronto Police released this video of a second person of interest in the premeditated slaying of environment philanthropist Glen Davis.
The second possible suspect in May 18, 2007 murder was photographed with the possible gunman at least twice about an hour before the ambush slaying in a Toronto parking garage.
Toronto police don't know the man's connection to the murder - but detectives believe - that at the very least - the second man knows the gunman who was also photographed several times near the murder scene.
Both men were photographed leaving the underground garage where the murder occurred - that concerns detectives.
Police are amazed at the planning that went into the murder - and the coolness of the gunman who waited for Davis - killed his prey - and calmly left the area.
Both persons of interest are white males.
The first suspect - the possible gunman - is described as:
a white male, in his mid to late 20s - about 5 feet 8 inches tall with a medium build.
He was last seen wearing:a black baseball cap - a light-colored hooded jacket, - dark jeans with faded patches on front and back legs - a blue sweater underneath jacket - white running shoes
- and wore a blue knapsack on the way to the killing.
------
The killer apparently laid in wait as Davis finished lunch - although police are unsure if his murder is connected to a previous attack on his life or his generous environmental donations.
Davis inherited his father's 100 million dollar transportation and trucking fortune.
The 66-year-old murder victim gave millions of dollars to a wide range of environmental causes including the World Wildlife Fund.
Davis shunned publicity but was well known and respected by environmental groups who join his friends in disbelief and outrage over the calculated and brutal murder.
Davis escaped death twice before.
In December 2005, Davis was severely beaten with a baseball bat outside his Toronto office but onlookers got involved and saved his life.
That attacker left in a van.
No arrests were made.
Police are unsure if its connected to his murder.
Meanwhile in June 1983 - Davis was aboard an Air Canada Jet en-route to Toronto that caught fire and made an emergency landing at the Greater Cincinnati Airport.
The acrid fire destroyed the plane and claimed 23 lives.
Davis was among only 18 people to survive the inferno.
Canadian folk star Stan Rogers was killed on the plane but Davis survived.
According to reports, Davis's life was forever changed by that fire.
He soon began donating millions of dollars to environmental causes.
Police seek possible witness
Person was smoking
white filtered Matinee cigarettes
on P-2 Level parking garage
Police want anyone who recognizes the suspect - or have any information - to call Toronto Crime Stoppers or homicide detectives.
