Fifteen years ago, 33-year old Manuel Desa was fatally stabbed by three men steps away from his home on Royal Colwood Court in Vaughan following an altercation, according to York Regional Police.

The suspects involved in the slaying of Desa on June 25, 2000, remain at large.

Pushing the public to help identify them, police on Tuesday announced a $50,000 reward for clues that lead to a successful prosecution.

York police released three photos of the crime scene. One is of a boot on a front lawn; the others show the home in which Desa, his partner and her young daughter lived.

Back in 2000, the Star reported that Desa was walking home with his partner and her daughter at about 10:30 p.m. when three men approached. According to police, they called Desa by name. He was stabbed in the face and abdomen when a fight began and escalated. The assailants fled in a two-door, light-coloured compact car.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Homicide Unit at 1-866-876-5423 ext. 7865, or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
