Peel police are searching for a suspect after a man was killed in Brampton on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Emergency crews responded to a call for a disturbance at a residence near Clearjoy Street and Southlake Boulevard, south of Bovaird Drive East, around 3:15 p.m.<\/p>\n
Peel police media relations officer Acting Sgt. Tyler Bell said officers located a man in his 50s with traumatic injuries, and he was subsequently pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n
Bell said it is still undetermined whether the victim sustained gunshot injuries or stab wounds.<\/p>\n
The homicide bureau has taken over the investigation.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, a suspect, believed to be in his mid-20s and wearing dark clothing, was seen fleeing the scene on foot.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t have a lot of information at the moment as it pertains to the suspect,\u201d Bell said.<\/p>\n
He confirmed that the suspect and the victim were known to each other.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe this to be an isolated incident and there to be no broader safety concern for the public,\u201d Bell said.<\/p>\n
He noted that there is a man who lives in the residence who fits the description of the suspect, but investigators have not been able to confirm \u201cbeyond a doubt\u201d that it\u2019s the same person.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe belief right now is that the person outstanding, the suspect, is associated with the address. Whether or not they live there full-time or have been known to visit, we\u2019re not certain. That is definitely something we\u2019re looking into right now,\u201d Bell said.<\/p>\n
When asked what his message to the suspect is, he said, \u201cWe\u2019re looking for you and we\u2019re not going to stop until we get you, and it won\u2019t be long.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Peel police are investigating after a man was killed after suffering either gunshot or stabbing injuries in Brampton,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":300714,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[712,49,48,44],"class_list":{"0":"post-300785","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-canada","8":"tag-apple-news","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300785","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=300785"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300785\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/300714"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=300785"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=300785"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=300785"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
