Man stabbed to death in shower

A man was stabbed to death Thursday night in his North York apartment as he was getting out of the shower during a home invasion, police say.

Police were called to Bogert Ave., near Yonge St. and Sheppard Ave., around 9:15 p.m.

Two men had entered the apartment, which had four occupants.

One of the intruders demanded cash and drugs from one of the occupants at gunpoint, police said.

The second confronted a 28-yearold man with a knife as he was getting out of the shower. The intruder allegedly stabbed him three times and both suspects fled, police said. Both suspects are described as having a light-brown complexion and standing approximately 5’8”. Police are currently reviewing security camera video in the search for more evidence. “We don’t believe they just walked up to the apartment and ran in the door,” said Insp. Ken Taylor. “They may have been loitering around this area.” The victim’s identity has not been released, pending notification of next of kin. A post-mortem examination was scheduled to take place Friday. Two brothers were shot to death in the parking garage stairwell of the same building in February 2012. Meanwhile, police continue to in- vestigate a fatal shooting that occurred in a playground Thursday evening near the Grace Housing Co-op at Morningside Ave. and Old Finch Rd. Police said the victim, whose name has not yet been released, is a 20-year-old man.

Witnesses said they saw three to four men fleeing the complex shortly after 8 p.m.
