Fatal 'family argument' marks Windsor's 10th homicide

A 25-year-old Windsor man is dead after a family argument turned fatal, police say. 

Officers were dispatched to Giles Boulevard East near Windsor Avenue after receiving reports of a stabbing at around 4:30 a.m. Thursday.

Police say several witnesses were gathered around the victim who was suffering from stab wounds. The case has been classified as a homicide after the victim succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.

This marks the city's 10th homicide in 2018, not including the police-involved shooting death in March.

About an hour after the initial call to police, officers went to a home on Church Street near Tecumseh Road West and arrested a 19-year-old Windsor man without incident.

Investigators believe the suspect and victim were related and that the incident began as a family argument. Their exact relationship was not disclosed by police.

Windsor police say there is no threat to public safety.

Isaiah Calero is charged with one count of second degree murder.

"Our community can expect to see a police presence at both the arrest scene, on Church Street, and the scene of the original incident on Giles as we investigate this case," said Sgt. Steve Betteridge.

He said investigators believe there was only one suspect involved, who is now in custody.

Betteridge also points out that only one homicide investigation this year has not resulted in an arrest or an arrest warrant for a suspect. That was the case involving the shooting death of 20-year-old University of Windsor student Jason Solomon.

"That's a credit to our community and a credit to people getting involved ... on each unique case. Sometimes the slightest bit of information is what we need to assist in that case."
