A 19-year-old London man is facing a charge of manslaughter in connection with the Tuesday shooting death of a 16-year-old teenager at an apartment complex across from London police headquarters.
Investigators responded to 580 Dundas St., just west of Adelaide Street, around 5:30 p.m. for a reported shooting inside of a unit.
A 16-year-old boy was located inside the apartment with an apparent gunshot wound and was pronounced dead shortly after, police said in a brief update early Wednesday afternoon.
The victim has since been identified by police as Owen Nicholas Serieska of London.
A 19-year-old man who police say was known to the victim was taken into custody and has since been charged with manslaughter.
