A 32-year-old man is facing a first-degree murder charge after a man was found dead with obvious signs of trauma in an Oshawa residence on Friday.

At around 9:45 a.m., Durham Regional Police said members of the Central East Division responded to a wellness check at an address on Drew Street.

When they arrived, they found a male without vital signs, suffering from significant trauma.

He was pronounced deceased.

A suspect was arrested at the scene. Justin Steeves, of Oshawa, has been charged with first-degree murder.

The coroner ordered an autopsy to identify the victim, which is now known to investigators. However, they are waiting for the completion of a post-mortem examination before releasing more information.

Anyone with new information is asked to contact Det. Graham of the Major Crimes Homicide Unit at 1-888-579-1520 ext. 5319.

Anonymous information can be sent to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online. Tipsters may be eligible for a $2,000 cash reward.
