A Toronto man has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for the manslaughter of Firdous Nabizada and six counts of assault following a knife attack at a Halloween party in 2019.
A 24-year-old man who stabbed multiple people, one of whom later died, at a Halloween party in 2019 in Toronto has been sentenced to 11 years in prison. Firdous Nabizada died after being stabbed at a Halloween party in 2019. His attacker was sentenced to 11 years in prison Tuesday for the attack. A man has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for a knife attack at a party in Toronto on Halloween 2019 that left one person dead and six others injured.
Jacob Alves, now 24, was found guilty of manslaughter in the death of Firdous Nabizada, as well as six counts of assault, by a jury in 2023. Nabizada was among the victims who were injured during a brawl at a 'rowdy' party at a fraternity house in the Annex, Toronto police said at the time. During the altercation, Alves stabbed Nabizada in the heart, court heard Tuesday. Nabizada's friends rushed him to the hospital but he died on Nov. 2, 2019. Two other men also suffered 'serious and life-threatening injuries' from being stabbed by Alves that night, according to Superior Court Justice Kelly Byrne's sentencing decision. During Alves' trial, court heard that the fight broke out after Alves, who was 19 at the time, was denied entry to the party and was asked to leave. At trial, Alves said he started carrying a knife for protection after a boy slashed him in the neck during a robbery. Alves testified he had no memory of stabbing Nabizada or injuring six others because he was too intoxicated. But at Alves' sentencing on Tuesday, Byrne said Alves was sober when he chose to arm himself with the knife before consuming alcohol and going to the party — intending to use it if needed. Byrne said the facts of the case showed Alves was the aggressor and was the only one armed during the fight. Another aggravating factor is the fact that Nabizada was the final victim 'in series of stabbing attacks,' the judge said
