Toronto police say a man is wanted for second-degree murder after a pedestrian was “deliberately” hit by a pick-up truck in the Port Lands on Monday.
Police said they were called to the area of Cherry and Polson streets at 9:08 p.m. for reports of a hit-and-run.
In a news release issued Tuesday, police said there was an argument, and a man got into a pick-up truck and “deliberately” hit another person.
Toronto paramedics arrived and worked to assist the victim, but they died at the scene. He was later identified as 25-year-old Uxbridge resident Jamil Nazarali.
Police said that a second person suffered non-life-threatening injuries after they were also struck by the truck, which fled the scene.
An arrest warrant has since been issued for 32-year-old Toronto resident Robert Cada.
Police said he is wanted for second-degree murder and attempted murder.
Officers said he was last seen wearing a white t-shirt, blue jean shorts and white shoes.
Meanwhile, police said the truck believed to be involved in the collision has been recovered.
