A man is dead and a homicide investigation is underway after an incident at a home in Oshawa on Monday night.
Durham Regional Police say officers were called to a house near Ritson Road and Dean Avenue, north of Highway 401, for reports of a disturbance.
Police say a 62-year-old man was found with “obvious signs for trauma” and was rushed to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Responding officers were told two suspects ran away from the area on foot and police were able to find a male suspect nearby and take them into custody.
Police continue to search for a second male suspect. No suspect description has been made available.
In an update Tuesday morning, police say there is no evidence to suggest the injury and subsequent death was the result of a home invasion.
The homicide unit has been called in to investigate. An autopsy has been scheduled to confirm the cause of death.
Anyone with additional information is being asked to contact police.
