Charges have been updated to second-degree murder after a 46-year-old Mexican man was slain earlier this month in North York.
Toronto Police were called to a stabbing in the area of Bayview Ave.-Hwy. 401 around 4:30 a.m. on Dec. 2.
It’s alleged there was an altercation inside a residence and a man was stabbed.
Police said the attacker fled the residence before officers arrived and the victim was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
A suspect assailant returned to the residence and was arrested by police.
The victim was identified as Juan Carlos Gomez Salgado.
Rigoberto Ulin Lopez, 35, of Toronto, was originally charged with assault, aggravated assault and assault with a weapon.
In a news release issued Thursday, police said the victim succumbed to his injuries on Dec. 11.
Lopez is now charged with second-degree murder and assault.
It’s the 69th homicide in the city this year.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 416-808-7400 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
