Hamilton police have charged a 20-year-old man in relation to a fatal shooting in July 2020.
Just after 4 a.m. on July 16, 2020, police were called to a residence on St. Matthews Avenue in the Barton Street East and Wentworth Street North area.
They found 17-year-old Myah Larmond suffering from a gunshot wound.
She was transported to hospital, where she later died.
