THUNDER BAY — A youth from Blind River, Ontario has been arrested in connection with the homicide in the Arthur Street/Brodie Street area of the city last week.
Thunder Bay Police have charged a 16-year-old with first degree murder in the death of 24-year-old Michael Park.
The Toronto man was pronounced dead in hospital Friday after a shooting incident.
The teen was apprehended Tuesday by Ontario Provincial Police in Blind River.
He appeared in court Wednesday morning via video and was remanded into custody pending a future court appearance.
