An 18-year-old and a 16-year-old wanted in connection with the death last week of 16-year-old Malik McDonnell-Mills of London, Ont., have been arrested.

Treyton Hoffman and an unidentified 16-year-old were jointly charged with manslaughter by way of warrant.

On Monday, police confirmed that Hoffman and the 16-year-old, who is not being named in accordance with the Youth Criminal Justice Act, had been arrested.

Police made the announcement of Hoffman’s arrest at around 3:45 p.m. and followed up with the 16-year-old’s arrest shortly after 5 p.m.

Both suspects appeared in London court Monday in relation to the charges.

A London police spokesperson said they are the only two suspects in the case at this time and that no additional information “will be provided at this time.”
