A 32-year-old man charged in the death of a woman killed by a stray bullet in Toronto previously served 15 months in jail after stabbing someone in the heart, one episode in a lengthy criminal history.

Court documents show the accused, Damian Hudson, was found guilty of aggravated assault after stabbing a man during a physical altercation in 2018 in Toronto’s Scarborough area, leaving the victim with life-altering injuries.
