Two teenagers have been arrested in connection with a shooting that killed a 16-year-old boy in Toronto’s west end earlier this week.
CBC News has removed the victim’s identity due to provisions in the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
Police responded to a call for the sound of gunshots Monday shortly after midnight at an apartment building in the area of King Street W. and Jameson Avenue.
When officers arrived, they found a boy suffering from gunshot wounds inside one of the units. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
On Thursday, police said two teen boys, aged 16 and 17, are now facing second-degree murder charges. The accused can’t be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
They were scheduled to appear in court Thursday.
