Hamilton police have arrested and charged a 16-year-old male with second-degree murder in the stabbing death of Dwayne Bride earlier this month.
The teen’s name cannot be released under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. It was previously reported that a second male was involved.
He has been identified but he will not face charges; police say he was present at the time of the crime but wasn’t a party to it.

Detectives say Bride, 42, was involved in a verbal altercation on Bay St. South, in front of the apartment building near Bold St., just before 2:30 a.m. on June 3.
Police say that’s when an individual on the east side of the building threw eggs at Bride and two people on bikes.
