Hamilton police are searching for a 22-year-old man in connection with the death of a 56-year-old man in Stoney Creek.

Investigators were called to a home near the intersection of Trafalgar Drive and Mud Street West just before 8 p.m. Saturday. When they arrived they found a man suffering from severe injuries. He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

The victim has been identified as Kuldip Singh of Stoney Creek.

Police are searching for the victim’s son, 22-year-old Sukhraj Cheema-Singh, who is wanted for first-degree murder. Witnesses say he was last seen fleeing the scene in a small dark-coloured SUV northbound on Trafalgar.

Police say Cheema-Singh is considered armed and dangerous. 

Investigators have appealed for other witnesses and anyone who may have video to come forward, saying they believe the suspect was in the area for approximately 30 minutes before the altercation.
