A 22-year-old man will appear in court in Brampton on Monday charged with second-degree murder, after another man was shot leaving a birthday party a day earlier.
The 27-year-old victim, who has not been publicly identified, was shot several times as he left the party in the city west of Toronto early Sunday morning.
The suspect is identified as Andre Dexter Bourne. Bourne is the cousin of Jordan Manners, the teenager who was shot and killed at Toronto's C.W. Jefferys Collegiate in May.
Peel Regional Police said the suspect and the victim were at a birthday party at a home on Salisbury Circle.
"At about 2:30 a.m., the party was ending and people began to leave the residence. There was a verbal argument between the victim and the accused. The accused then shot the victim and fled the area," police said in a news release.
The Peel force is also investigating the death of an 18-year-old man who was shot and killed early Saturday while sitting in a parked car in Mississauga. Anuruddha Ratwatte, 20, of Mississauga is charged with second-degree murder.
