A 14-year-old boy has been charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder after a shooting at a Scarborough high school where an 18-year-old was killed Monday.
In a news release issued Tuesday, police identified the victim as Jahiem Robinson.
Police said that the shooting happened around 3:03 p.m. at David and Mary Thomson Collegiate, which is near Lawrence Avenue East and Midland Avenue.
According to a sequence of events laid out in the news release, a boy approached Robinson from behind and shot him, before chasing after another 18-year-old.
The boy assaulted the second person and pointed the gun at him, police say, but the gun didn't fire. The accused then ran off, investigators said.
Robinson was pronounced dead at the scene.
