A 27-year-old woman is facing a second-degree murder charge after a victim died in hospital following a fight earlier this month, Toronto police say.
The incident occurred on Aug. 16, at around 12:30 p.m. in the area of Shuter and Sherbourne streets, near Moss Park.
Police said they were called to the area for “unknown trouble,” and found a woman with life-threatening injuries.
Life saving measures were performed on scene, police said, and the victim was rushed to the hospital. Over a week later, on Aug. 25, police said the woman succumbed to her injuries and died at the hospital.
No further details about the altercation were provided by police.
In a news release Monday night, police identified the victim as 29-year-old Fadumo Hassan, of no fixed address.
Police arrested Mireille Pardieu, and charged her with second-degree murder. The charge has not been proven in court.
Police believe there are several witnesses to this incident and ask anyone who was in that area, at around 12:15 p.m. on Aug. 16, and saw any type of altercation to call investigators.
Anyone with information can call police at 416-808-7400 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477).
