Police have arrested a second man wanted in connection with a fatal stabbing in Pickering last summer.
The incident occurred on July 2 at a home in the area of Glenanna Road near Huntsmill Drive.
Dionecio “Deshane” Nelson, 20, was leaving a party when he became involved in a physical altercation with two men in a vehicle. At some point during that altercation, police say Nelson was stabbed.
Following the homicide police released a description of the suspects and the vehicle they reportedly fled the scene in, however months went by without any arrests.
That is until this week.
On Tuesday, police arrested 20-year-old Nathaniel Findley and charged him with second degree murder in connection with the stabbing.
Then on Friday evening police arrested 20-year-old Alexcander “Poppie” Mitchell and charged him with second degree murder as well as two counts of assault with a weapon.
Police say their investigation into the fatal stabbing is continuing.
Anyone with new information is asked to call Det. Short (ext. 5407) or Det. Horrocks (ext. 5418) of the Major Crime Homicide Unit at 1-888-579-1520.
