Police say two teenagers, age 16 and 18, have been charged with manslaughter in connection with the death of 16-year-old Malik McDonnell-Mills in London, Ont.
McDonnell-Mills died in hospital Wednesday evening. Police allege he died of injuries from an “altercation” involving “a group of male youths” in the area of King Edward Avenue and Thompson Road.
There is now a search on for both suspects and while police have released a photograph and identified the 18-year-old suspect as Treyton Hoffman, of London, the 16-year-old is not being publicly identified by police, in accordance with the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
