Fatal stabbing at Mississauga apartment leaves one dead
A man was pronounced dead at the scene following a stabbing at a Mississauga apartment building early Saturday morning, cbc.ca reports.
Officers from Peel Regional Police responded to an altercation near Lakeshore Road E. and Fergus Avenue at approximately 4:45 a.m. Const. Amanda Steenson told reporters at a news conference that the man was found with life-threatening injuries and "obvious signs of trauma."
Emergency crews attempted life-saving measures, but the man did not survive. Peel paramedics assessed one person at the scene and transported no one to hospital.
Suspects had fled before officers arrived, Steenson said, adding that no description of those involved has been released. Police have not yet determined whether the victim and the suspect were known to each other. The victim's identity is being withheld pending notification of next of kin.
The Peel police homicide investigation unit has assumed responsibility for the case. Steenson called on anyone who witnessed the incident, holds relevant information, or has dashcam footage from the area to contact police.
Peel police said a significant investigative presence would remain in the area. Authorities indicated that current evidence does not suggest any broader threat to public safety.
