Police say the victim was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries

Around 8:30 a.m. Monday, Demarcus Parker, who had a warrant out for his arrest since Wednesday, turned himself in at the Windsor Police Service headquarters.

Investigators say they have since arrested three of the five suspects in connection to the incident. Two unidentified people are still outstanding.
