Home Invasion in Toronto Affects CEO and Family

A Canadian CEO and his family experienced a violent home invasion in a wealthy area of Toronto, close to rapper Drake’s mansion.

According to reports, three masked individuals armed with guns broke into the home on Hyde Park Circle at about 3:43 a.m. on Thursday. They shot Mac Group CEO David Morton and his two adult daughters, Cristina and Maggie, and then attacked his wife, Doriana, with a hammer, as stated by The Toronto Sun.

Toronto Police Inspector Kristy Smith informed the media that 75-year-old Morton and one of his daughters were shot in the leg. The other daughter was shot beneath her arm.

As a result, two family members suffered “life-altering injuries” and remained in the hospital, while the other two had non-life-threatening injuries, according to Smith.

The 2.1 million-dollar residence is located around 500 yards away from Drake’s estate.

Despite the violent situation, Morton and his daughters managed to fight off the intruders, who accessed their gated Bridle Path property through a back door.

“A struggle took place during which the suspects discharged their firearms multiple times, and one family member was struck with a hammer,” Smith said, per The Toronto Sun.

Smith added, “It was a violent encounter. They demanded valuables from inside the house, but it’s unclear if they took anything.”

Authorities have not released specific descriptions of the suspects but mentioned they fled the scene in an SUV.

On the Mac Group’s official website, Cristina is identified as the founder of Zohil-Morton Law, while Maggie works within the company, managing several departments. Doriana serves as the president.

This shocking incident has left the local community shaken, with news outlets providing extensive coverage.

“Currently, we don’t have any information to indicate that this particular home was specifically targeted,” Smith said, as reported by Global News. “I’m uncertain about their motives and whether they were surveying other homes in the nearby area,” she added. “Residents should feel secure in their own homes. I assure you, the Toronto Police Service is committed to identifying, locating, and bringing these suspects to justice.”
