THUNDER BAY, Ont. – Police in Thunder Bay, Ont., say an investigation into a serious assault is now being treated as a homicide probe after the teen victim died over the weekend.
City police say they’re not releasing the name of the 18-year-old victim, who was taken to hospital after the alleged assault on Jan. 9.
Police began investigating after receiving word of an alleged break-in at a home, where they ultimately found the teen suffering from serious injuries.
Investigators say they’ve since identified two other people, a 20-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman, who were allegedly assaulted with a weapon during the same incident.
