Attempted murder suspect sought after Richmond Hill road rage incident
York Regional Police are seeking a suspect in relation to an attempted murder that police say is tied to a June 2025 road rage incident.
On June 21, 2025, police received multiple reports of an assault happening at a parking lot in the area of Yonge Street and May Avenue in Richmond Hill, Ont.
When officers arrived they found a male victim suffering from stab wounds. Police say the victim had serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Responding officers learned the victim had previously been involved in a road rage incident with another male who subsequently left the scene.
Police say the man then returned with two other males and all three allegedly assaulted the victim.
During the assault, the victim was stabbed.
One suspect was taken into custody at the scene and the other two fled.
YRP officers say that after a “lengthy” investigation, a second suspect was charged on May 31.
Police are now looking for the third suspect. Wanted for attempting to commit murder and aggravated assault. The suspect is identified as 30-year-old Seyed-Houman Mirmoghtadaei.
“He is encouraged to seek legal advice and turn himself in,” police say in a news release. “Investigators are reminding the public that anyone providing assistance to him may be subject to criminal charges.”
Hamid-Reza Safi-Poor, 54, of Toronto and Ali Kia, 59, of Markham have both been charged with attempting to commit murder, aggravated assault and uttering threats. Kia faces an additional charge of possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
Anyone with information is asked to contact York Regional Police.
