The child is safe, but the man police say shot her mother to death in a Brampton parking lot is still out there, possibly armed, and authorities are warning anyone who spots him to stay back and call for help immediately. Skyla-Rose Deschepper was missing for hours Tuesday after a woman was discovered shot near Airport Road and Queen Street East in Brampton, a scene investigators are calling intimate partner violence turned deadly. The victim died from her wounds, and police quickly linked her killing to the disappearance of the one-year-old girl. Anthony Deschepper, the child's father, became the prime suspect in both the homicide and abduction. He's 38 years old, white, about 5'9" with brown hair, no facial hair, and was last seen in a blue hoodie, blue jeans, and carrying a black crossbody bag.

The community of Brampton is reeling after a devastating incident that has left a young child, Skyla-Rose Deschepper, safe but her mother tragically dead and her father, Anthony Deschepper, still at large. 

The events unfolded on Tuesday afternoon near Airport Road and Queen Street East, where investigators discovered the body of a woman suffering from gunshot wounds. 

Despite efforts to save her, she succumbed to her injuries, marking a heartbreaking end to what police are calling an act of intimate partner violence turned deadly.

Skyla-Rose, just one year old, was reported missing shortly after the shooting. 

Authorities quickly linked her disappearance to the homicide, suspecting that her father, Anthony Deschepper, was responsible for both the murder and the abduction. Deschepper is now the focus of a widespread manhunt, with police alerting the public to be cautious. 

They warn that he may still be armed and dangerous, and anyone who spots him should not approach but instead call emergency services immediately. The urgency is compounded by fears that he could attempt to harm others or himself.

Deschepper, 38, is described as a white male, approximately 5'9" tall, with brown hair and no facial hair. 

At the time he was last seen, he was wearing a blue hoodie, blue jeans, and was carrying a black crossbody bag. His image has been circulated widely across social media and news outlets in an effort to locate him quickly. 

Law enforcement officials are urging residents to remain vigilant and report any sightings or suspicious activity directly to authorities.

The scene of the shooting, a parking lot near Airport Road, has become a focal point for investigators working tirelessly to piece together what led to this tragic act of violence. 

Early reports suggest that the incident was rooted in a domestic dispute that escalated into gunfire. 

The victim, whose identity has not been publicly released, was found with multiple gunshot wounds, and despite emergency efforts, she died at the scene. 

Her death underscores the devastating consequences of intimate partner violence and highlights the urgent need for intervention and support services for victims.

The child’s safety remains a top priority for law enforcement. After her abduction, authorities issued an Amber Alert and launched a search across Brampton and neighboring areas. 

A significant concern is that Deschepper, possibly armed, could pose a danger to anyone he encounters. Police have increased patrols and are working with community partners to disseminate information and gather tips that could lead to his apprehension.

Community members are urged to remain cautious and to report any sightings of Deschepper immediately. Police advise against approaching him under any circumstances, emphasizing that he is considered dangerous. 

The ongoing manhunt has mobilized multiple law enforcement agencies working in tandem to locate him as quickly as possible.

As the investigation continues, the focus remains on finding Skyla-Rose and bringing her father into custody. 

The community’s thoughts are with the victim’s family as they mourn this tragic loss, and with Skyla-Rose, whose safe return is paramount.
