Quebec man 19-year-old Yacine Mehennaoui has been charged with manslaughter in the death of a three-year-old child in Bois-des-Filion, north of Montreal.
Police announced the new charge on Dec.15. Last month he had been charged with criminal negligence causing death with a firearm, obstruction of justice for disposing of the firearm, and possession of an unauthorized firearm.
In November, officers from Terrebonne–Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines–Bois-des-Filion intermunicipal police service had responded to a 911 call about a seriously injured child at a home on 34th Avenue.
The toddler was pronounced dead at the scene, despite efforts by first responders.
The investigation was transferred to provincial police.
