Details of the Incident
Police and paramedics responded to a report of a stabbing shortly before 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday in the 2400 block of Todd Lane in LaSalle, Ontario.

Members of the Essex-Windsor Emergency Medical Services rushed her to a nearby hospital, where she later succumbed to her injuries.
In a statement posted on social media, the LaSalle Police Service expressed their deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Ms. Grewal. They emphasized that investigators are viewing this as an isolated incident to ease public concern, although they have not disclosed whether a suspect is currently in custody.
Police Investigation and Scene
On Wednesday morning, officers cordoned off two homes located between Canada Street and Bishop Street on Todd Lane. Multiple evidence markers were placed along a concrete path and up the stairs leading to the front door of one of the residences. Additionally, yellow police tape was set up around a wooded area approximately one kilometre away on Todd Lane, near an entrance to walking trails close to the Herb Gray Parkway.

Context of Recent Homicides
This fatal stabbing in LaSalle occurred about two weeks after the region's first homicide of 2026. On February 18, a 44-year-old man with a gunshot wound was found unconscious in a parking lot at Windsor Regional Hospital's Metropolitan campus shortly after 5:30 a.m. Despite life-saving efforts, he was pronounced dead in the emergency room. That case also had connections to LaSalle, as Windsor police arrested one of the suspects at a residence on Broderick Road in LaSalle on the same day.
The LaSalle Police Service continues to assure the public that the Todd Lane stabbing is an isolated event, but they remain committed to a thorough investigation to bring clarity and justice to this tragic situation.
