York Regional Police are looking for suspects after one man was killed and a second was seriously wounded in a double stabbing in Newmarket late Wednesday night.
The violent incident occurred near Davis Drive and Huron Heights Drive at about 10:30 p.m., and police say three male suspects may have fled in a dark-coloured sport utility vehicle.
