On January 12, 2022, Elnaz Hajtamiri was forcibly taken from her Trailwood Place residence at around 8:30 p.m. by three armed men in balaclavas and wearing fake police vests.

They all fled the scene with Hajtamiri in a stolen white Lexus RX SUV.

Following an investigation, OPP charged Hajtamiri’s ex-boyfriend, Mohamad Lilo, with attempted murder and attempted kidnapping in an altercation that occurred in the parking lot of her Richmond Hill apartment building Dec. 21, 2021, where Hajtamiri suffered a head injury.

So far, four people have been charged in connection with Hajtamiri’s January 12 kidnapping, including Lilo.

On November 9th 2023, OPP announced that Lilo is now facing a first-degree murder charge.

The fifth suspect Deshawn Davis, 35, is still wanted on a Canada Wide Warrant.
