One of the accused in the death of a Brampton teenager has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.
On June 30, 2020, members of the Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) responded to a homicide on 10 Sideroad near Guelph Line in Milton. The victim was 16-year-old Ezekiel Agyemang of Brampton and the cause of his death was ruled to be a gunshot wound.
A lengthy investigation was undertaken by members of the HRPS Homicide Unit and four individuals were initially arrested and charged. One of the arrested parties, 28-year-old Ahmed Ismail of Toronto, was initially charged with kidnapping and first-degree murder.
On Friday (Oct. 4), while appearing in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Milton, Ismail entered a guilty plea to the charge of second-degree murder in the death of Ezekiel.
Ismail is scheduled to be sentenced on December 17.
The charges against two of the four arrested parties were stayed by the courts and the charges against the fourth accused are still before the courts.
