The victim was rushed to a local trauma centre, where police said he died of his injuries on July 14, 2023. He was identified as 24-year-old Gurvinder Nath of Brampton.

Nath’s vehicle was later located in Mississauga in the Old Derry Road and Old Creditview Road area.

On Wednesday, police arrested a young person in relation to the homicide. The youth has been charged with second-degree murder.

The unidentified young person was held on bail and will appear in court. They were not identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
