Toronto police say they’ve arrested a second suspect in the death of JahVai Roy — the eight-year-old boy who was fatally struck by a bullet while he slept in his family’s North York apartment on August 16.
Investigators were able to identify three suspects in the case and previously announced the arrest of one suspect.
On Friday, Toronto Police said a second suspect was arrested Thursday in London, Ontario after officers executed a search warrant.
Both suspects now in custody are facing first-degree murder charges.
A third suspect remains at large.
All three are youths and can’t be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, although police earlier received judicial authorization to briefly name them and share their photos. That has since expired and they can no longer be identified.
