Peel Regional Police say a second 16-year-old boy has been charged with second-degree murder after a man was found without vital signs on a Brampton pathway.

Police said 22-year-old Surajdeep Singh was found “bloody and unconscious” on a recreational pathway near Queen Mary Drive, west of McLaughlin Road and south of Sandalwood Parkway West, just before 3:30 p.m. on Thursday.

Singh was taken to a local hospital and was pronounced dead there a short time later. It’s unclear how he was injured and how long he was injured at the scene.

Police said on Friday that a 16-year-old suspect was arrested and charged with second-degree murder. The accused, who can’t be identified due to the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was set to appear in a Brampton court for a bail hearing on that day.
