17 year old charged with first-degree murder in stabbing of Kafi Abshir, 30, of Toronto near Weston and Lawrence
A 17-year-old boy, already in custody for a robbery at a gas station in Aurora, has been charged with first-degree murder in a Toronto stabbing earlier that day.
Toronto police rushed to Weston Rd. and Lawrence Ave. W., around 5 a.m. Friday for the report of a stabbing and found a man with “obvious trauma.” Kafi Abshir, 30, of Toronto, was taken to hospital, but later died from his injuries.
A witness said Abshir was stabbed multiple times after getting off a bus. The witness said there was an altercation between Abshir and his attacker just before he was stabbed. Abshir tried to run away before collapsing.
A suspect was seen fleeing the scene.
Later the same day, a 17-year-old and a 14-year-old were arrested by York Region police after a Canadian Tire gas station was robbed near Yonge St. and Edward St. in Aurora.
After an investigation, the 17-year-old boy was charged Monday with first-degree murder.
He cannot be identified under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
