4 suspects wanted after stabbing death of teen dropped off at GTA hospital
Police are asking for the public’s help after a teenage boy was dropped off at a hospital in York Region and died a short time later.
York Regional Police said on Aug. 8 at about 6 a.m. they were called to a local hospital after a boy, whom they believe was involved in a vehicle theft in Richmond Hill, arrived suffering from a stab wound.
Investigators said that the victim was accompanied by two other males, one of whom left immediately after dropping him off.
The teen was pronounced dead a short time later. He has since been identified by police as a 16- year-old boy from Montreal.
A Canada-wide warrant has now been issued for a 27-year-old Katherine Bergeron-Pinzarrone, of Mississauga. She is wanted for second-degree murder in connection with this incident.
Police are also working to identify a man, who is also wanted in connection with this homicide. Police have not released any descriptive details.
They are also appealing to the public for help to locate a suspect vehicle, a white 2013 Mercedes C300 with black tinted windows and the Quebec licence plate X25SWG.

They are 31-year-old Lensly Francois, of St. Hubert, Que., and 26-year-old William Gallant, of Quebec City, Que. Both men are wanted for theft of motor vehicle over $5,000, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, and breach of probation.
