Toronto police have identified the man killed in a double stabbing at a shelter in North York earlier this week.
Emergency services responded to the Wilson Avenue and Beverley Hills Drive area, east of Highway 400, on Sunday just after 12 p.m. for a stabbing.
Officers found 53-year-old Roger Borges and a 51-year-old man suffering from stab wounds. Both were taken to the hospital, but Borges died shortly after.
He is the city’s 17th homicide victim of the year.
Police said a 72-year-old man was arrested at the scene. In a news release on Friday, he was identified as Jose Diaz of Toronto. He has been charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder.
The circumstances that led to the stabbing are still unknown, and police have not said what relationship the suspect may have had with the victims.
