Toronto police are investigating a homicide after a man in his early 30s died in North York on Sunday.
Officers responded to reports of a disturbance in a home near Lawrence Avenue W. and William R. Allen Road around 8:19 a.m., Toronto police said in a post on social media platform X.
A man with injuries was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. No other injuries were reported.
Officers were called to an apartment building in the area of Flemington Road and Blossom Field Drive, Det. Sgt. Sajeev Nair said at a news conference Sunday afternoon.
Some people, including the suspect, fled from the fourth floor unit, he said.
“Officers secured the scene and conducted a sweep of the area, rendering the area safe for the public,” he said.
The victim has not been identified yet, Nair said, saying that he was in his early 30s.
Nair could not say what the relationship was between the man and the suspect, but said the suspect was last seen heading north away from the building.
“We’re not ready to release a suspect description, but what I can tell you is that this apartment building has a significant amount of video surveillance,” he said. “It’s only going to be a matter of time before we have a good image of the suspect.”
The victim suffered a traumatic injury, Nair said, but did not say how it was inflicted.
The homicide team has taken over the investigation, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
