An 18-year-old man wanted on a Canada-wide warrant following a fatal stabbing in Toronto on Nov. 14 has been arrested in Kitchener.
Toronto police said 54-year-old David Blacquiere was stabbed outside a Shoppers Drug Mart near Weston Road and Lawrence Avenue in broad daylight.

Blacquiere, a father of four from Angus, Ont., later died in hospital. Police reported two altercations occurred between the suspect and the victim at a pair of scenes.
“One within the motor vehicle that we have at the scene and a second one just outside of the motor vehicle. That altercation turned physical and unfortunately, Mr. Blacquiere was stabbed multiple times,” said Det. Rob North.
On Monday, Toronto police arrested Christopher Enrique Gordon in Kitchener and charged him with second-degree murder.
A friend of Blacquiere told Global News that it was not a random attack, but the suspect knew the victim from work and that he had been giving him rides to and from work.
