Peel police have not released additional details about what led to the altercation. Detectives are handling the investigation and have not indicated whether any other measures, such as search warrants or additional arrests, are planned.
The presence of a youth charged in a serious violent offence will prompt questions about court processing and supports for victims and families. Cases involving young people can be subject to provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, though police statements indicate this matter will proceed with an attempted murder allegation.
Anyone with information about the incident who has not yet spoken to investigators is asked to contact Peel Regional Police. Further updates are expected as the investigation and any subsequent court processes proceed.
