Three Armed Suspects. Four Injured Occupants. One Suspect Now Named.
It was approximately 3:40 a.m. when three armed suspects forced their way into a home in Toronto's wealthy Bridle Path neighbourhood.
Within moments, the occupants were facing firearms, a hammer and demands for their personal valuables.
Now, Toronto Police have identified one of the three suspects — and issued a Canada-wide warrant for his arrest.
The violent home invasion happened on Thursday, October 29, 2026, near Post Road and Hyde Park Circle.
According to police, the three suspects entered the home armed with firearms and a hammer before heading to the second floor and demanding personal valuables.
What followed left four people injured.
Four Occupants Injured in the Attack
Police say the suspects got into an altercation with the occupants and multiple firearms were discharged.
Three victims — a 75-year-old man, a 26-year-old woman, and a 28-year-old woman — sustained gunshot wounds. The 75-year-old man, and a fourth victim, a 64-year-old woman, were also struck with a hammer.
All four occupants were taken to hospital. The suspects fled in a dark coloured SUV before police arrived.
One Suspect Identified: Daijohn Richards, 23
One suspect has been identified as Daijohn Richards, 23, of Toronto. He is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant on charges of:
- Four counts of Discharge Firearm with Intent to Wound
- Four counts of Robbery with a Firearm
- Three counts of Aggravated Assault
- Break and Enter Commit/Dwelling-House
- Possess Prohibited Device
- Disguise with Intent
Investigators believe Richards may have been injured during the attack. Police believe another suspect accidentally shot him during the struggle, and he may show signs of a shoulder injury. Police have released an image of him.
Two Suspects Still Outstanding
The other two suspects have not been identified, and no descriptions are available for them. Police say all three are considered armed and dangerous.
Anyone with information can contact the Hold Up Squad at 416-808-7350 or 33 Division at 416-808-3300.
The charges have not been proven in court.
The Twikup Take
Four people were injured in their own home. One suspect has been named, but two others remain unidentified, and police are still searching for all three.
If you recognize Richards or know where he may be, do not approach him. Contact police immediately.
