Teen girls charged in ‘swarming’ death of homeless man are suspects in random TTC assaults: Source

The teenage girls alleged to have murdered a homeless man downtown in a “swarming” attack are also suspected in a string of random assaults along the TTC’s Line 1 the same night, a source confirmed Wednesday. The release said “a group of 8-10 teenage girls randomly assaulted several people” at Queen’s Park, St. Patrick, Osgoode, St. Andrew and Union stations. It is extraordinarily rare for young girls to be perpetrators of armed violence, and rarer still for them to be accused of murder. The girls cannot be identified under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. On Tuesday afternoon, Lee’s name was added to the Toronto Homeless Memorial — a years-long ledger of lives lost while contending with homelessness throughout the city.
