Toronto police charge third teenager with murder in May homicide

TORONTO — Police have charged a third teenager with murder in the shooting death of a Toronto man earlier this year. 

The Toronto Police Service says the 16-year-old boy was arrested Tuesday.

He's the third individual arrested since the death of 23-year-old Hashim Kinani on May 14.

Police allege that Kinani was found suffering from gunshot wounds in a tow truck after gunshots were reported that evening in north Toronto.

Two boys aged 15 and 17 were charged less than a week later with first-degree murder and attempted murder. 

The third teen arrested this week was to appear in Toronto court Tuesday on the same charges. 

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 15, 2020.
