Police in Canada are hunting a suspected hitman who they say disguised himself as a delivery person to carry out a premeditated, targeted and isolated attack on a woman, gravely injuring her with a crossbow.
Details of a brazen murder attempt were released to the public Monday morning by police in Mississauga, Ontario. The attack on the 44-year-old woman occurred late on 7 November 2018 in an area north of Toronto.
In black-and-white home surveillance footage, a man is seen carrying a large cardboard box on the victims front porch. Dressed in a baseball cap, hooded sweatshirt and dark gloves, the man awkwardly holds the large rectangular box, which police say concealed the crossbow.
After a brief conversation, he fires the weapon and flees in a dark pickup truck. The front door is seen closing as the suspect runs away.
