Jordan O’Brien-Tobin, the man who stabbed a 16-year-old to death at a TTC subway station in 2023, has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.
The victim, Gabriel Magalhaes, was on his way home with a friend when he was attacked at Keele Station, in the city’s west end. The stabbing was unprovoked, according to an agreed statement of facts.
O’Brien-Tobin, a 22-year-old originally from Newfoundland, stabbed Magalhaes in the chest and then left the station, per the statement of facts.
The coroner found the knife wound punctured Magalhaes’s left lung and heart.
He died in hospital just under an hour after the stabbing.
More to come.
