A memorial grew throughout the day Sunday (March 28) for the victim who died and the six others injured in Saturday’s stabbing.
While the Lynn Valley Library remained closed and behind police tape, that didn’t stop dozens of people coming by to pay their respects and leave flowers.
One woman was killed and six people were injured after a stabbing spree that started Saturday afternoon.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said that Yannick Bandaogo, 28, has been charged with second-degree murder in connection to the death of the woman, who was in her late 20s.
Police said that the investigation is ongoing and it’s not yet clear if the suspect had any connection to the victims.
