Overview
- A violent break-in at the Bridle Path home of MAC Group CEO David Morton on Thursday, Oct. 29 left the family injured after three masked men forced entry and demanded valuables.
- Toronto police have identified 23-year-old Daijohn Richards as one suspect and issued a Canada-wide arrest warrant charging him with multiple counts including robbery with a firearm and aggravated assault.
- Police say Richards arrived at St. Joseph’s Health Centre with a shoulder gunshot wound hours after the attack, was questioned there, and was discharged because investigators said they lacked arrest-level evidence at the time.
- Three family members were shot and all four were struck with a hammer, with two victims described by police as having suffered life-altering injuries as they recover in hospital.
- The Hold Up Squad continues to search for two other unnamed suspects who are described as armed and dangerous, and police and city officials have urged neighbours to provide tips or doorbell and dashcam footage as the investigation advances.
