Peel Region Police are asking for the public’s health in locating a man wanted in connection with a homicide in Brampton on Wednesday (May 1).

“During the incident, the victim was fatally stabbed,” said Peel police. “The culprit fled the scene.

“The victim and culprit are known to each other, and this was not a random act.”
