Shahnaz Pestonji, 71, was pronounced dead in hospital after being found with stab wounds in a north Toronto parking lot Thursday morning. While police obtained authorization to release the name and images of the suspect during the search, they say that authorization expired and the suspect can no longer be named.

It happened near Charles Street East and Yonge Street at around 8 a.m., police said in a post on social media. Toronto paramedics said one victim was transported to hospital with minor injuries. The suspect has been described by police as a white male with a ponytail who was wearing black track pants.
