A man was stabbed and died after attending a party in an industrial building in Mississauga, Ont., early Sunday morning, according to Peel police.
Officers were called to the area of Tomken Road and Kamato Road for a stabbing shortly before 5 a.m., Peel Regional Police said in a post to social media platform X.
Speaking with reporters at the scene, acting duty Insp. Ian Plummer said the victim had attended a party in an industrial building in the area. The building is private property and not “an actual established business,” he said.
“The party was in its late stages and we believe that it was starting to empty out and people were starting to leave,” he said. “It was a decent-sized party and that’s why we believe there are others that may have witnessed this incident and we’re urging them to come forward.”
Plummer said the perpetrator had attended the party and fled the area on foot, but had no further information about his identity.
“We still believe it’s an isolated incident and there is no threat to public safety,” he said.
Police have not publicly identified the victim or given his age pending notification of next of kin, he said.
A large police presence remained at the scene as of Sunday morning.
