A man was stabbed to death in an apartment at a Mississauga highrise early Saturday.
And the killer, or killers, fled the scene before cops arrived.
Peel Regional Police say officers responded to an altercation inside a unit at Lakewood Apartments at 1257 Lakeshore Rd. E. – west of Dixie Rd. – just before 5 a.m. and found a gravely injured man.
Victim pronounced dead at scene
Emergency responders administered first aid but the victim died at the scene.
“The suspects fled prior to police arrival,” Const. Amanda Steenson told reporters Saturday at the scene. “The area has since been secured by our officers as we work to process the scene.”
Police have not released any description of a suspect, or suspects, and few details were immediately available.

“We’re working to identify (the killer), to see if there was a relationship between the victim and the culprit,” Steenson said. “We do believe that this was an isolated incident and that there’s no threat to public safety.”
Police have yet to reveal the identity of the victim because they were still notifying the man’s next-of-kin.
“The Homicide Bureau has taken carriage of this investigation and we’re asking anyone who has any information, who may have been in the area at this time, who has any dashcam footage or surveillance footage, to please come forward to our investigators at 905-453-2121, ext. 3205,” Steenson said.
