A 20-year-old man wanted in connection with a stabbing that left one man dead and another injured in a Vaughan parking lot early Sunday morning has been arrested.
York Regional Police were called to the lot on Interchange Way, near Highway 400 and Highway 7, at around 3 a.m.
According to police, two people were stabbed during an altercation between two groups of people.
One man died of his injuries at the scene. In a release Monday afternoon, police identified the victim as 22-year-old Gianluca Cellucci, of Richmond Hill.

In Monday’s release, investigators identified a suspect sought in connection with the stabbings. In a subsequent release, issued roughly an hour later, police confirmed that the suspect had been arrested.
