A father from Vaughan, Ont., who was killed during a home invasion this past weekend was gunned down in front of his family. In an update on Wednesday, police said that 46-year-old Abdul Aleem Farooqi had confronted the suspects when he was shot and killed.

The suspects fled through the back of the home and took three family members’ phones, two of which were later found discarded nearby and seized by police, York Regional Police Insp. Paolo Fiore said Wednesday.

“At this time, it is believed the house was specifically targeted for a robbery,” Fiore said. “We are still looking into any and all motives behind the robbery, but currently, we believe this to be based on a monetary gain only.”
