CBC
Montreal police have made an arrest in the fatal stabbing of a 16-year-old boy outside his Montreal high school on Monday.
Jannai Dopwell-Bailey was stabbed in the parking lot of Mile End high school in the city's Côte-des-Neiges—Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough.
According to police, there was a fight outside involving a group of teens.
Police arrested a minor in connection with the stabbing. He is expected to face charges of second-degree murder and conspiracy on Friday. His identity is not being released due to his age.
Montreal police were looking for up to three suspects on the day of the attack. Police said videos posted to social media in the following days, where people were seen mocking Dopwell-Bailey's death, would play a big part in the investigation.
The news of the arrest comes on the same day families and friends are expected to gather at a vigil at the scene of the attack to remember the teen.
The victim's mother, Charla Dopwell, will be there at 6 p.m. She has described her son as loving and caring, with a passion for dancing and rapping.
