Hamilton police have identified 19-year-old Natshon Defreitas of Toronto as the victim of an early morning homicide in the city's east end. Officers were called to 470 Beach Road around 4 a.m. after reports of a shooting. But along the way they met up with members of the Hamilton Fire Department near Dalhousie Avenue and Ottawa Street North. A wide section of Beach Road was cordoned off with yellow police tape that stretched across two parking lots and the entrance to Martimas Avenue Sunday afternoon. Hamilton police officers were seen combing through an alley near the scene of the city's sixth homicide for 2018.
