A 16-year-old has been charged with first-degree murder after a stabbing that killed another teen in Calgary’s Marlborough Park last week.
Calgary police said the accused is not the teenager who was first taken into custody at the scene of the crime. That 15-year-old has been released without being charged.
Leslie Sun Walk, 15, was found with a stab wound at around 5 a.m. on Nov. 15 in the 5500 block of Maddock Drive N.E. He was taken to hospital but died of his injury.
