Toronto police say a suspect has been charged with second-degree murder after a pedestrian was “deliberately” hit by a pickup 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 pickup truck and “deliberately” hit the victim.

Twenty-five-year-old Uxbridge resident Jamil Nazarali died at the scene.

Police said that a second person suffered non-life-threatening injuries after they were also struck by the truck, which fled the scene.
