A 15-year-old girl has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the shooting of a 16-year-old boy outside an east-end Toronto apartment building in early July, police say.
Emergency services were called to the scene at 11 Antrim Crescent, west of Kennedy Road and just south of Highway 401, for reports of a shooting just after 6 p.m. on July 3.
Police said a teenage boy was shot when a black SUV drove by and opened fire while he was standing with friends. Caden Francis made his way toward a nearby basketball court where he collapsed. He was rushed to a trauma centre, where he later died of his injuries, investigators said.
