What’s the Latest: Toronto police didn’t know hospital patient was home invasion suspect: Demkiw
Toronto police identified a man with a gunshot wound as a suspect in a violent home invasion on Hyde Park Circle that occurred early on 29 October, resulting in injuries to four family members. Daijohn Richards, 23, is wanted on multiple charges including robbery with a firearm and aggravated assault, while the condition of the injured family members remains undisclosed.
Toronto police received a call regarding the home invasion at approximately 3:45 a.m. on October 29, shortly before one suspect, Daijohn Richards, was admitted to hospital with a gunshot wound later that same day. Investigators have not disclosed any arrests made in connection with the case, though Richards is wanted on multiple charges stemming from the incident.
Toronto police continue their investigation following a violent home invasion that left four family members injured, with Chief Myron Demkiw affirming confidence in the professionalism of the detectives involved. David Morton, CEO of MAC Group and father of two victims, expressed concern over rising violence in home invasions, stating, “No family should ever have to experience this.”
What remains unclear — Police have not disclosed whether additional suspects are being sought in connection with the home invasion.
Toronto police unaware hospital patient was home invasion suspect, says chief
Toronto police Chief Myron Demkiw confirmed that investigators were unaware that a man treated at a hospital for a gunshot wound was a suspect in a violent home invasion. On Monday, Demkiw stated that the individual, later identified as Daijohn Richards, 23, was one of three suspects involved in a break-in that resulted in injuries to four family members.
“The home invasion happens in the middle of the night and a very short time later, an individual shows up at a hospital with a gunshot wound,” Demkiw remarked. He noted that during the initial investigation, there was no indication that an assailant had been shot. The incident occurred around 3:45 a.m. on 29 October at a residence on Hyde Park Circle, where three masked men allegedly forced their way in, confronting and assaulting the family inside.
Richards, who arrived at the hospital later that day with a gunshot wound to his right shoulder, is now wanted on multiple charges, including four counts of discharge of a firearm with intent to wound and robbery with a firearm. Police have yet to make any arrests related to the case.
In his comments, Demkiw detailed the standard procedure for police response to gunshot wounds and highlighted the ongoing nature of the investigation. He expressed confidence in the investigative team’s capabilities, stating, “Had I been a victim of this type of horrible set of circumstances, these are precisely the people I would want chasing and apprehending the offenders.”
The home invasion left the family in a precarious situation, with three members sustaining gunshot wounds and two others being struck with a hammer. David Morton, the father and CEO of the MAC Group, expressed concern over rising violence from home invasions, saying, “No family should ever have to experience this,” and asserted that families should be able to sleep peacefully without fear.

Get you up to speed: Trump asks Supreme Court to intervene in bid to get California to set aside ballots from 20,000 alleged noncitizens
The Trump administration has requested the Supreme Court to mandate California election workers to segregate mail ballots from over 20,000 individuals identified as suspected non-citizens. This request follows a federal appeals court’s refusal to order California officials to segregate these ballots amid ongoing voting in the state.
The Trump administration sought a Supreme Court ruling after lower courts rejected its requests to segregate more than 20,000 ballots cast by individuals listed as suspected noncitizens. U.S. District Judge David Carter expressed concerns over potential disenfranchisement of eligible voters and ruled against the administration’s request for a temporary restraining order.
The Trump administration’s request for the Supreme Court to intervene comes after a federal appeals court denied a similar plea concerning the segregation of ballots cast by over 20,000 suspected noncitizens. In response, U.S. District Judge David Carter emphasised the importance of protecting voters’ rights, stating, “Constitutional rights and our democracy are at stake,” as the legal battle intensifies ahead of Tuesday’s elections.
What remains unclear — It is not specified how the Justice Department will address concerns regarding the accuracy of the list of suspected noncitizens.
Trump administration appeals to Supreme Court to block ballots from 20,000 alleged noncitizens in California
Washington — The Trump administration on Monday asked the Supreme Court to intervene in its effort to force California election workers to set aside mail ballots from thousands of people it claims are not U.S. citizens.
The Justice Department’s request for emergency relief came after a federal appeals court on Friday declined to order California officials to segregate the ballots cast by more than 20,000 people included on a government list of suspected noncitizens.
More than 6 million mail ballots have been returned statewide as of Sunday, according to the California secretary of state’s office. Voting has been underway in California since early October. There are more than 23 million registered voters in the state.
The emergency appeal to the high court came in the fast-moving legal battle unfolding in the run-up to Tuesday’s elections. The Trump administration so far has not been successful in convincing lower courts to require the ballots at issue to be put aside.
But in the request to the Supreme Court, Solicitor General D. John Sauer said the government is seeking a “modest remedy” that will ensure any ballots cast by people who are not American citizens do not “debase or dilute valid votes.”
“Once California commingles the challenged ballots with lawful ones, there is no way to get the challenged ballots back,” he wrote in a filing. “The only way to preserve the district court’s ability to grant relief to the United States after a full merits proceeding, therefore, is to segregate the challenged ballots now.”
The dispute arose after the Justice Department sent letters to California’s secretary of state and the top elections official in Los Angeles County with a list of 20,000 people it claimed were registered to vote but not U.S. citizens, and demanded any ballots returned by them be set aside and not tabulated until their citizenship could be verified.
But the officials have expressed concerns about the accuracy of the list and the potential for eligible voters to be disenfranchised.
The Justice Department sued California and Dean Logan, the Los Angeles County registrar-recorder and county clerk, and sought a court order requiring the ballots to be segregated.
But on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge David Carter rejected the Trump administration’s request for a temporary restraining order blocking election workers from counting ballots from the alleged noncitizens.
“Constitutional rights and our democracy are at stake. The public interest favors their protection,” Carter, appointed by President Bill Clinton, said. “Individuals who have met the requirements of California’s voter registration laws must not be deprived of a core right merely because of unfounded allegations stemming from a procedure rife with uncertainty and errors.”
A three-judge panel on the 9th Circuit divided 2-1 on Friday in denying a Justice Department request to require the ballots to be separated and not counted pending citizenship verification.
