Homicide investigators were called in after a man was killed in a “violent” incident on a North York street Saturday morning.
Toronto Police say officers responded to the area of Bathurst St. and Wilson Ave. shortly after 6 a.m. and found a gravely injured man on a roadway.
“This was a violent altercation,” Homicide Det.-Sgt. Brandon Price told reporters at the scene on Saturday, explaining it’s believed two males were involved in the encounter.
He said life-saving measures were performed but the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
Price said it appears the victim suffered “sharp force injuries.”
“We are in the early stages of this investigation,” he said. “This appears to be an altercation that erupts – it’s unknown if it is targeted, but it does seem to be isolated.”
Police later identified the victim as Jolly An, 51, of Toronto.
Investigators are gathering and reviewing video from nearby security cameras, he said, urging any witnesses who were in the area to come forward.
Anyone with information regarding the city’s 19th murder of the year can call the Homicide unit at 416-808-7400 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8377).
