A 14-year-old boy is facing a first-degree murder charge after a shooting in Toronto last month that left a 20-year-old man dead.
Toronto police said that at around 11:58 p.m. on June 24, officers responded to the Jane Street and Falstaff Avenue area for a shooting.
Four suspects had exited a light-coloured SUV with guns and “several shots were fired,” police said.
The suspects then got back into the SUV and fled, police said.
