2 women found dead in Etobicoke home, police searching for relative

Two women have been found dead in an Etobicoke home and police are searching for a man related to the victims. 

Toronto police were called to a home in the area of Sheldon Avenue and Silvercrest Avenue for a well-being check shortly before 1 p.m. on Friday, according to Det.-Sgt. Jason Davis of the police’s homicide unit. A relative of the two women, not the accused, called police because the person was concerned for their safety, he added.

When officers arrived, they found the women injured in the home. They were pronounced dead at the scene. 

“Unfortunately, those females were beyond help,” Davis told reporters near the home.

Davis declined to comment on the nature of the injuries suffered by the women or when the injuries occurred. The women’s ages have not been released.

Police say they are “actively” searching for Joseph Ayala, 33, who is wanted for second-degree murder. Davis declined to say if Ayala is known to police.

Police have not determined a motive for the deaths.

“At this point, it’s very, very early on in the investigation,” he said.

Davis said the homicide unit has taken over the investigation.

Ayala is described as 5 foot 11, with a shaved head. He is known to wear a cowboy hat, black cowboy boots and a cowboy-style jacket with tassels on the sleeve.

No cause of death has been released. 

Police said he is considered dangerous. Anyone who sees him should not approach but call 911.
