MARKHAM HOME TARGET OF SHOOTING AND ARSON

Investigators with the York Regional Police #5 District Criminal Investigations Bureau are seeking suspects and witnesses after a firearm was discharged and an arson occurred at a residence in the City of Markham.

On Thursday, July 18, 2024, police responded to a residence in the area of Windfields Road and Beckenridge Drive for shots being fired at a house. Video from the area shows a four-door white sedan approach the home at approximately 3:40 a.m., and a suspect in the rear seat is observed firing several shots before fleeing the area. No one was injured.

On Sunday, July 21, 2024, at approximately 1:45 a.m., police were called to the same address for a report of a vehicle on fire. Video surveillance showed a grey Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) in the area before a suspect approaches a parked vehicle in the driveway on foot and pours a flammable liquid on it before setting a fire.

Investigators are seeking any additional video surveillance from the area or anyone who may have captured dashcam video on the roadways at that time. Anyone who has not yet spoken to police is asked to please come forward.

Investigators believe the incident is targeted and the investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the #5 District Criminal Investigations Bureau at 1-866-876-5423, ext. 7541, or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, or leave an anonymous tip online at www.1800222tips.com.
