Toronto police have identified the woman who was fatally stabbed at a law office in the King Street East area on Sept. 2.
Police were called to 238 King Street East just before 2 p.m. for reports a man had entered the building and stabbed a worker.
Paramedics rushed the 29-year-old victim to hospital with life-threatening injuries. She was later pronounced dead.
She has been identified as Julia Ferguson of Toronto. A Go Fund Me page for the Ferguson family identifies the facility as a law office.
The suspect, who fled the scene, surrendered to police after the incident.
Osman Osman, 33, of Toronto, was charged with second-degree murder. The charges are expected to be upgraded, police said.
He has been remanded in custody.
Investigators said in a news conference Monday the law office was the target of the attack. It was not a random attack and there’s no threat to public safety, police said.
