Out of respect for the family, we’d prefer to not say anything at this time,” Lewis and Thomas said.He was walking along a sidewalk when he was struck by a vehicle driven by the suspect.
Witness Natasha Bilak told CP24 that she heard yelling outside of her nearby residence just before a pedestrian was struck. “There was a dispute which ended up with the man getting into his car and deliberately driving [his vehicle] into the crowd of young adults. They were able to get out of the way,” Bilak said, adding the driver then made a U-turn on Danforth Avenue and drove towards the group a second time.
