Toronto police named 59-year-old Ken Lee as the victim of a brutal stabbing downtown involving eight teen girls accused of 'swarming' the victim in a dispute over a liquor bottle.
on Tuesday named the 59-year-old homeless man killed in what authorities deemed a"swarming" attack allegedly carried out by eight teenage girls on a Toronto street last month.
At approximately 12:17 a.m., police responded to a call for an assault in the York Street and University Avenue area, and the severely injured 59-year-old victim was transported by medics to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. He was pronounced dead at the hospital a short time later, police said.
At a press conference last month after the attack, Toronto Police Services Det. Sgt. Terry Browne, of the Homicide and Missing Persons Unit, declined to describe the group of girls as a gang, saying they carried out a"swarming-type behavior." "From what we gathered so far, is that they met each other through social media. They come from varying parts of the city. That’s to say they’re not from one specific geographic location. We don’t know how or why they met on that evening or why the destination was downtown Toronto," Browne said."We don’t know how long they’ve been acquainted together with each other. But I wouldn’t describe them as a gang at this point.
