Editor’s note: This article was updated on Nov. 4 to remove the name of the suspect. Police initially took the unusual step of releasing the name of the underage suspect as they were searching for him, but the suspect has now been taken into custody, which means the suspect’s photograph and his name can no longer be published under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

The Toronto Police took the unusual step of going to court for permission to publicly identify the 17-year-old suspect in a deadly shooting that killed 18-year-old Jefferson Peter Shardeley Guerrier in front of Woburn Collegiate Institute.
