An 18-year-old male, identified by police as Noor Mohamed, was charged with one count of accessory after the fact to murder in connection with the stabbing.

On Wednesday, police identified an additional outstanding suspect wanted for second-degree murder.

He was identified as 17-year-old Terrence Warner. While underage suspects are not normally identified, a judge’s order was received to publish his identity in hopes of locating him.

LAST WORD: Let's talk "brute causes"...
"Late last week, a veteran police officer penned a letter to Toronto Mayor John Tory in which he blamed Tory for cancelling the Toronto Anti-Violence Intervention Strategy (TAVIS) in 2016, which the author says deprived police of a crucial tool in keeping violent street gangs at bay."

"The officer also referred to Chief Saunders as a 'puppet on the strings' being pulled by Tory."
The same way that Dalton McGuinty cancelled Ontario's "Zero Tolerance for Violence in Schools" policy, because... racism.
