Peel Regional Police have arrested a 53-year-old Brampton man following a fatal hit-and-run outside of a Brampton home on Christmas night.

Officers were called to the scene of the incident on Sunny Meadow Boulevard shortly before 11 p.m. A 51-year-old Brampton man was found in life-threatening condition and later died in hospital.

The vehicle involved in the incident was located on Thursday, Dec. 26, and shortly after, the suspect was taken into custody for second degree murder. He will appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton on Friday, Dec. 27, to answer to the charge.

On Thursday, Const. Ahkil Mooken told reporters at a news conference from the scene that police have identified the victim but are still notifying next of kin.

The incident is a record-high 28th homicide of the year in Peel Region.

Mooken called the hit-and-run “shocking” but said the incident is isolated and that there is no threat to the public.

Police told The Star they were aware of a video circulating on social media that appears to be footage of the hit-and-run.

In a video sent to the Star, the victim can be seen getting out of a van and walking toward the curb. The driver reverses and then drives over him. The vehicle has a light on its roof, and may belong to a taxi. Police haven’t confirmed to the Star that it’s a taxi.
