Police have arrested one man and issued a Canada-wide warrant for another in connection with a stabbing homicide in Mississauga last weekend.
The victim, identified as 18 year old Maxwell Alexander Chavez, was one of two people stabbed at a McDonald's parking lot near Lakeshore and Cawthra roads in the early hours of Oct. 14.
Chavez was rushed to a Toronto trauma centre, but succumbed to his injuries upon arrival. The other victim, also an 18-year-old man was treated for serious but non-life threatening injuries.
In a news release issued on Saturday, Peel police confirmed they have arrested 23-year-old Mississauga resident Trayon Johnson and charged him with second-degree murder in connection with the homicide and have also issued a Canada-wide arrest warrant for 18-year-old Richard Ireland.
Police believe Ireland is “actively evading” authorities.
He is described as a white male, who is about five-foot-ten and 130 lbs. with brown eyes and shoulder length brown hair.
Ireland is being sought for second-degree murder.
