Police Release Surveillance Footage of Prior Arson at Victim’s Residence
(ESSEX COUNTY, ON) - The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is releasing surveillance video, in partnership with the Windsor Police Service, related to a targeted arson that may be connected to an ongoing homicide investigation.
On Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at approximately 9:30 pm, members of the LaSalle Police Service responded to reports of an individual in medical distress at a residence on Todd Lane in the Town of LaSalle. Upon arrival, police located an individual with serious injuries consistent with a stabbing. The victim was transported to hospital where she succumbed to her injuries. The victim has been identified as 45-year-old Nancy GREWAL of Windsor.
As the investigation progressed, investigators became aware that the Windsor Police Service had previously attended the victim’s residence in the early morning hours of Saturday, November 8, 2025, in relation to a deliberately set fire.
Surveillance footage shows a van stopping in front of the residence. A male exits the passenger side of the vehicle carrying a gas can, pours a liquid substance onto the front porch, and ignites a fire. The suspect then re-enters the vehicle and flees the area.
Investigators from the Windsor Police Service Arson Unit investigated this incident and followed all possible leads. Their investigation remains ongoing, and a suspect has not yet been identified.
Investigators are releasing video of the arson in an effort to identify the vehicle and individuals involved.
