KITCHENER -- A Cambridge man is one of three people charged with the second-degree murder of a Toronto teen.
On April 26, Toronto Police were called to Sheppard Avenue West after receiving multiple reports of gunshots.
Officers found 15-year-old Jeremiah Ranger near a dumpster with a gunshot wound close to his left hip.
The teen died a short time later at a local hospital.
As part of their investigation, the Toronto Police Service released surveillance video showing Ranger and a friend getting into a white SUV. Approximately 10 seconds later, the 15-year-old and his friend can be seen fleeing from the vehicle.
Investigators say Ranger was shot inside the SUV and he collapsed just 20 metres away, near the dumpster where he was later found.
On May 1, Toronto Police worked with Waterloo Regional Police to execute a search warrant at a Cambridge home.
Tyler Ricardo Young, 22, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder.
Two more suspects surrendered to police on Monday.
Hannah Yvonne Gaudet, a 20-year-old from Toronto, and her boyfriend, 23-year-old Seymour Myles Young of Toronto, have also been charged with second-degree murder.
The charges against them have not been proven in court.
Ranger's mother says this senseless act of violence has changed many lives, including the families of the people accused in her son's death.
"I can only imagine what their families are having to endure," she says. "At least I have the feeling of knowing my son is in heaven. These three people's lives are now ruined. I hope and pray this helps other people open their eyes and live their dreams and not go down the path of violence. It's not worth it."
Police say the surveillance video played a part in helping them identify the suspects.
They have not yet released information about the motive for the shooting or what the relationship is between the victim and the three people now facing charges.
