t’s becoming clearer and clearer that Brampton and Mississauga are facing a new reality.
With each new stabbing, shooting, assault, or murder, the two major cities are showing that 2018’s rash of bloodshed that left 26 people dead and countless others injured was more than just a one-time spike, but a trend that has been emerging in Peel police’s Violent Crime Severity Index for several years now.
Two young boys are the 24th and 25th homicide victims in Brampton and Mississauga in 2019. After their bodies were found inside a Brampton home late Wednesday night, the father of the two children is now charged with their deaths.
It’s the latest in a long string of tragedies that have shaken the two cities since the start of 2019, and is a continuation of a rise in violent crime observed across the region last year.
