Toronto police are investigating a homicide after a man in his early 30s died in North York on Sunday.<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

A man with injuries was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. No other injuries were reported.<\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n

Some people, including the suspect, fled from the fourth floor unit, he said.<\/p>\n

“Officers secured the scene and conducted a sweep of the area, rendering the area safe for the public,” he said.<\/p>\n

The victim has not been identified yet, Nair said, saying that he was in his early 30s.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

The victim suffered a traumatic injury, Nair said, but did not say how it was inflicted. <\/p>\n

The homicide team has taken over the investigation, police said.<\/p>\n
