He was a suspect and wanted by Windsor Police Service for the first-degree murder of Daniel Squalls who was shot in the 800 block of Hanna Street East on Nov. 28, 2022.
Members of the local Major Crimes Unit and Ontario Provincial Police-led Repeat Offender Parole Enforcement (ROPE) Squad were able to locate Calloo in Michigan and worked with the U.S. Marshals Service to coordinate the arrest.
Earlier this year, Calloo was added to the Be On the Look Out (BOLO) program’s top 25 list which brings together information about most wanted suspects from across the country.
“I want to commend the exceptional teamwork among partners and the persistence of our investigators, who never gave up on this case,” said Windsor Police Chief Jason Bellaire.

“I also want to thank both the U.S. Marshals Service for their assistance in arresting Calloo and our BOLO partners for their continued commitment to keeping our communities safe. It is our hope this arrest will help to bring some degree of closure to the victim’s family.”
A former student athlete, Calloo played on the basketball teams of Catholic Central High School and St. Clair College.
The fatal shooting occurred on the evening of Nov. 28. Residents of the neighbourhood reported hearing multiple shots fired.
Squalls was found on the street with gunshot wounds. He succumbed to his injuries in hospital soon afterward.
Besides Calloo, Windsor police have arrested another suspect in the case. Hussein Al Hayawi, 25, of Windsor, was taken into custody on Dec. 6 and also arrested on a charge of first-degree murder.
The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Major Crimes Unit at 519-255-6700, ext. 4830 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 519-258-8477 (TIPS).
