Officers were called to a Toronto Community Housing building on Danforth Avenue, near Greenwood Avenue, at around 2:30 a.m. on Dec. 6.
A victim was found with stab wounds and was rushed to the hospital where he later died of his injuries.
Police have since identified him as 57-year-old Nicola Maioreno of Toronto.
Investigators announced charges in connection with his death on Friday.

Donivan Comeau, 23, of Toronto, was also arrested on Thursday and is facing one charge of accessory after the fact to murder.
Both men are scheduled to make an appearance in court Friday morning.
Police continue to ask anyone with information to reach out to investigators or to call Crime Stoppers anonymously.
