Police have since said they believe she was killed in the area of Johnson Road and Pennard Way.
A Canada-wide warrant was issued for the teen suspect in March, with police warning he should be considered armed and dangerous.
The teen, who cannot be identified because of his age, appeared in court Friday and has been remanded into custody.
