Cross-border plot to kidnap Windsor, Ont., boy being investigated, police say
Shahzad Hameedi, accused of assaulting a child and mother, faces multiple U.S. charges including kidnapping plot with evidence found in his Michigan home, authorities said.
- Shahzad Hameedi, a 46-year-old Michigan man, faces multiple charges for sexually assaulting a four-year-old boy and violently attacking the boy's mother in Windsor, Ontario.
- The case started in early June 2025 with a break-in and intensified when a home invasion involving violence occurred, followed by a sexual assault, resulting in his arrest later that month in Michigan.
- Authorities discovered evidence linked to a planned kidnapping, including ransom notes and items such as a stun gun and zip ties. Hameedi now faces charges in the United States for attempting to abduct a minor.
- Hameedi faces multiple charges in Windsor, such as aggravated sexual assault and assault causing bodily harm, and if convicted in the U.S., he could be sentenced to 20 years or more in prison.
- Hameedi remains in U.S. custody while legal proceedings continue, with Canadian authorities cooperating and urging anyone with information to come forward for the complex cross-border investigation.
