Responding to a distress call just before 11:30 p.m. on Friday, officers arrived at a residence on Queensville Sideroad East near Yonge Street. Initially reported as an assault-in-progress, the situation quickly escalated.

At the scene, authorities apprehended a suspect. Jeantel Burry-Burgess faces charges of second-degree murder, assault (choking), and two counts of breaching probation. It is important to note that the allegations against the accused have not yet been proven in court.
