Teen charged in Ontario homicide located in northern Sask.

A teenage boy charged with second-degree murder in Ontario has been taken into custody in northern Saskatchewan, according to police.

Peel Regional Police had issued a Canada-wide arrest warrant for the 17-year-old male, who was wanted in connection with the death of 19-year-old Daniel Smith on May 26.

Smith was found fatally injured in a Mississauga, Ont. home. Police described the teen as a danger to the public.

On Wednesday, a person matching the teen’s description was seen by RCMP members in the Pinehouse Lake area, and then ran into the bush.

The teen was taken into custody “without incident,” RCMP said in a news release issued at 6:05 p.m. Wednesday.

Pinehouse is about 500 kilometres north of Saskatoon.

According to a report in the Toronto Sun, Smith was fatally stabbed while he tried to break up a fight during a house party that had been thrown to celebrate prom.

A Gofundme campaign raising money for Smith’s family had netted nearly $18,000 by Wednesday morning.

The campaign said Smith “lost his life as a hero.”

“He was helping when no one else would and because of that he lost his life. I knew him long enough to know he was a genuine, good, innocent kid who had so much potential,” the organizer of the Gofundme campaign wrote.

Police have arrested two other teenagers in connection with Smith’s death.

A 16-year-old boy has been charged with seconddegree murder and assault causing bodily harm while an 18-year-old man faces a charge of accessory after the fact to murder.
