Man found beat to death on sidewalk in Canada, second man accused of his murder

A 39-year-old Canadian man was found with “obvious signs of trauma” on a sidewalk and now police say another person has been arrested for his murder.

Around 8:30 a.m. July 9, Peel Regional police said they were called to the scene of an unconscious man lying on the sidewalk in Mississauga, a suburb of Toronto.

When police arrived on the scene, they found Orlando Donaldson, 39, who was injured, officials said and the CBC reported.

Medical personnel tried to save his life, but Donaldson died from his injuries at the hospital hours later, authorities said.

Police said they are not releasing the cause of death or a description of the man’s injuries.

The Peel Regional Police were asked if Donaldson was shot and Const. Heather Cannon, spokeswoman for Peel Regional Police, told the CBC, “There were no shots heard.”

After an investigation, police said Victor Alvarado, 36, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder.

Officials said Alvarado and Donaldson knew each other.

Investigators are still searching the surrounding area for information about the case.
