Another Teen Faces First-Degree Murder Charge in East Toronto Stabbing
A second 16-year-old boy has been charged with first degree murder in the stabbing death of a 14-year-old that occurred last weekend in Toronto.
Police say the teen voluntarily turned himself in to investigators on Friday, just four days after another 16-year-old suspect contacted police about the same incident.
The fatal stabbing happened near a McDonald’s restaurant in Toronto’s east end on Saturday, during a time when hundreds of people were gathered nearby for a concert. Witnesses reportedly flagged down paramedics after finding the injured boy.
Emergency crews responded swiftly and transported the victim to the hospital, but he was later pronounced dead.

Toronto police are still appealing for witnesses or anyone with footage from the area.
