Windsor police are asking for the public’s assistance locating one of Canada’s most wanted fugitives after gunshots were fired on Erie Street.
Shortly before 6 a.m. on Saturday, officers responded to a fight involving multiple parties in the 700 block of Erie Street East.
Officers say they learned that the fight involved 34-year-old Phillip Grant, a suspect wanted in connection with two Toronto homicides from 2022.

Officers continue to investigate Grant’s whereabouts. He is described as a black male, approximately 6’1” and 200 lbs, with a muscular build and brown eyes, currently sporting dreadlocks and a goatee. If seen, he should not be approached.
Grant was named to the Bolo Program’s list of Canada’s most wanted fugitives following the homicides, and remains on their list of still-wanted fugitives: https://www.boloprogram.org/still-wanted/ The Bolo Program leverages social media, technology, and innovative engagement to encourage citizens to be on the lookout for Canada's most wanted.
