UPDATED: A suspect wanted for second-degree murder allegedly killed a Toronto police dog in Etobicoke on Tuesday night and was shot by an officer while attempting to flee arrest, the SIU says.
A spokesperson for the SIU told reporters Wednesday that police attended an apartment building in the area of Dixon Road and Kipling Avenue at around 8 p.m. to locate and arrest a suspect for second-degree murder.
“A police service dog was deployed and the man shot and killed the police service dog,” Denette said. The SIU is called in to investigate any time there is an interaction with police that results in death, serious injury, or allegations of sexual assault. "The suspect is in custody and has been advised of pending charges of second-degree murder," Demkiw said.
