Man charged in fatal Toronto stabbing

Authorities were called to the scene near Yonge and Gerrard shortly before 9.30.p.m on Tuesday night.

“There was no previous relationship between the accused and the deceased”, Det. Paul Worden told the network. “The deceased was just out for his normal evening walk and happened to come across the accused and he was attacked”.

A man is dead following a stabbing in downtown Toronto near the Ryerson University campus.

Investigators believe Nimoh, who is known to police, may have tried to rob Ernsting.

According to a video posted on the OICR website, Ernsting was a senior biomedical engineer in the institute’s drug discovery program and was working on nano technology to better deliver tumor-targeting drugs. “We are deeply saddened by this senseless, tragic event”.

Interim Ryerson president Mohamed Lachemi notified the community in an email this afternoon.

He was charged with second-degree murder and appeared in court Wednesday.

Police arrested 21-year-old Calvin Michael Nimoh in the Summerhill and Yonge area about an hour later in an unrelated incident.
