Toronto police are searching for the driver of a vehicle who fled the scene after one person was allegedly struck and killed in what they say was a targeted incident in the city’s west end Sunday morning.
Investigators say they were called to an apartment building on Agate Road near Keele Street and Wilson Avenue just after 6 a.m. for reports of a fight involving a group of people.
While police have provided very few details as to what occurred at the building, residents in the area at the time tell CityNews that an altercation broke out between the victim and several suspects and that the victim was then beaten with a baseball bat and run over several times before they fled the scene.
One eyewitness tells CityNews he was awoken by the sound of a revving car and screams.
“I’m used to the revving, not used to the screaming,” said the man who did not want to be identified. “I went over [to the building] and what I saw was a gruesome scene. He was lying on his stomach, and his body looked like it had been crushed. I thought he might have fallen from the balcony or something. It was a gruesome scene.”
Police said despite life-saving measures, one person was pronounced dead at the scene. The victim’s age was not immediately known.
Paramedics said one other individual was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The age and gender of that person were not immediately known.
There were no immediate suspect descriptions, except that they fled in a light-coloured vehicle.
“We feel that this is localized and that there is no greater public risk at this time,” said Duty Insp. Scott Bradbury. “For the people responsible for this murder, find a lawyer and turn yourselves in.”
