A 24-year-old man is in police custody in relation to the stabbing death of Joshua Eliot in Beaverton last month.

At 10:30 p.m. on May 26, police were called to downtown Beaverton for a report of a male collapsed on the ground after a fight.

They arrived to find Eliot, 21, suffering from injuries including a stab wound.

He was rushed to a hospital in Orillia but died a short time later. A second male injured in the fight suffered serious but non-life-threatening condition.

A coroner ruled that his cause of death was a stab wound.
