Montreal police have made an arrest into Monday's stabbing death of a 16-year-old boy outside his school in Cote-des-Neiges.
In a news release issued at noon Friday, police said they arrested a youth and that he is expected to be charged with second-degree murder and conspiracy. His identity has not been released because he is a minor.
Jannai Dopwell-Bailey was stabbed in broad daylight in the parking lot of the Programme Mile End school on Van Horne Avenue in the city’s Cote-des-Neiges neighbourhood.
He made it inside the school to seek help after the 3 p.m. attack and later died in hospital shortly before 9 p.m. The attack started as a fight between a group of boys that police said began near the nearby recreational centre and spilled over to the school’s parking lot.
The arrest comes on the same day families and friends are expected to gather at a candlelight vigil to remember Dopwell-Bailey.
