UPDATE: The accused was later convicted of manslaughter in connection with Trevino-Sabourin’s death. On Jan. 21, 2019, he was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison. However, he will only have 17 more months to serve after being given credit for times served in pre-trial custody.
A 21-year-old man is charged with second-degree murder in connection with the stabbing death of 21-year-old Darrian Trevino-Sabourin in south Edmonton earlier this week.
Police said Trevino-Sabourin was found early Wednesday morning after officers were called to the area of 103 Street and 45 Avenue for reports of an assault. The victim was rushed to hospital where he later died of his injuries.
An autopsy later confirmed Trevino-Sabourin died after being stabbed several times.
