Toronto police have issued an arrest warrant for a 32-year-old Toronto man in connection with an alleged “deliberate” fatal hit-and-run.
Police said they were called just after 9 p.m. to the Polson and Cherry Streets area for a report that a pedestrian had been struck by a truck.
When officers arrived, one of the victims had no vital signs and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
A second person that police said was also struck by the vehicle suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the truck that police allege was involved in the collision had already fled the scene when emergency services had arrived.
Investigators said there was an argument prior to the collision and one man allegedly got into a pick-up truck and “deliberately struck the pedestrian.”
Following an investigation, police have obtained an arrest warrant for Robert Cada for second-degree murder and attempted murder.
He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt, blue jean shorts and white shoes. The vehicle believed to be involved in the incident has since been recovered.
The victim of the incident has not yet identified by police. A memorial has been started close to the site where the incident occurred.
