Police say the man was wanted after a woman was killed in Brampton

A suspect in a Brampton homicide and now cancelled Amber Alert has been shot and killed by police.

NRPS officers were actively searching for the suspect wanted in connection with a homicide in Brampton.

Police believed he was in the Niagara Region.

A shelter-in-place order was cancelled in the Crystal Beach area after investigators determined he had fled the area.

Around 2:30 this morning, the suspect was found in a vehicle at a gas station near Thorold Stone and Montrose Roads.

After an interaction with officers, 38-year-old Anthony Deschepper was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Ontario Special Investigations Unit has now taken control of the investigation.
