Police say two teens have been charged with murder in a fatal shooting at a prom after-party north of Toronto last week, while a third faces a related charge.
York Regional Police say 18-year-old Jahdea Paterson of Toronto and a 17-year-old boy who can't be identified are charged with first-degree murder, while a 16-year-old is charged with being an accessory.
Eighteen-year-old Rizwaan Abookbabar Wadee of Vaughan, Ont., was found dead at a large house in Whitchurch-Stouffville, Ont., that police say had been rented out for an after-prom party. In a news conference this morning, Inspector Thai Truong said approximately 400 people had attended the party -- but no one stayed behind after police were called.
Police say Paterson turned himself in Wednesday night and is due in court in Newmarket, Ont., today for a bail hearing. The 17-year-old and the 16-year-old, who also face firearms charges, were taken into custody shortly after Wadee was killed.
