Police say 20-year-old Nilakshi Raguthas was killed and a 26-year-old man was injured in the early-morning shooting on March 7.

They have said the home was shot at five times since 2018, including three times last year alone.

A police spokesperson would not detail a suspected motive, but did confirm a person living inside the house was connected to the tow truck industry.

Greater Toronto Area police forces have tied several violent shootings to alleged turf wars among a small number of tow truck operators with ties to organized crime.
