Peel police have released photos of a suspect and vehicle believed to be involved in a violent carjacking in Mississauga that lead to the death of a food delivery driver from Brampton. Investigators believe more people are involved and are asking for the public’s assistance with nabbing those responsible.
The incident occurred on July 9, in the area of Britannia Road and Creditview, in Mississauga.
The victim, Gurvinder Nath, a 24 year-old man from Brampton was working as a food delivery driver, when a call was placed for a food order. Upon arrival, he was violently assaulted and robbed of his vehicle.
On July 14, NATH succumbed to his injuries after being taken to a trauma centre.
Investigators have reason to believe there are multiple suspects involved and that the food order was placed as a means of luring the driver to the area. It is believed that Nath was an innocent victim although every potential motive is being explored.
Investigators have identified a suspect vehicle; it is described as a 2012 to 2017 Hyundai Accent sedan, white in colour. It has a distinctive flashing blue light at the top of the windshield.
A male is seen exiting the vehicle. He is described as wearing dark clothing.
Investigators are asking anyone who may have been in the area and witnessed the incident or has dashcam footage to contact Homicide and Missing Persons Bureau at 905-453-3311, extension 3410. Information may also be left anonymously by calling Peel Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or visiting peelcrimestoppers.ca.
