Five teens now charged in fatal stabbing of Abdul Aziz Sarr, 14, near Eastern and Coxwell avenues in July

Two more teens have been arrested and charged in connection with the stabbing death of a 14-year-old boy in the Beach this summer.

Abdul Aziz Sarr, 14, was fatally stabbed outside the McDonald’s at Woodward and Eastern avenues on the night of Saturday, July 5.

Paramedics were flagged down near the McDonald’s at approximately 10:10 p.m. on July 5, leading emergency crews to respond to the scene of Sarr’s fatal stabbing. He was rushed to hospital where he was pronounced deceased.

Sarr was Toronto’s 19th homicide victim of 2025.

Later in July, police announced that two 16-year-old males had surrendered to police in connection with the stabbing.
They were both charged with first-degree murder. In August, a 16-year-old surrendered to police and was charged with first degree murder in connection with Sarr’s death.

In a news release late last week, police said a 16-year-old male and a 17-year-old male were arrested on Friday, Oct. 17, in connection with the stabbing and both have been charged with first degree murder.

Last week’s arrests bring the number of teens charged with Sarr’s death to five.

None of the accused can be identified under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
