A teenage boy arrested along with more than 20 others following a gun battle in Toronto’s West Queen West neighbourhood was wanted in connection with a deadly home invasion in Etobicoke back in April, Toronto police say.

During a news conference on Thursday morning, police confirmed that the 16-year-old has now been charged with second-degree murder in the death of Matthew Bergart on April 25.

Police previously said 23 people were arrested and 16 firearms were seized after at least 100 shots were fired between two rival groups in the area of Queen Street West and Sudbury Street.
