Man, 19, fatally stabbed during Nuit Blanche identified

Toronto police have identified the 19-year-old man who was fatally stabbed during Nuit Blanche early Sunday morning as Rameez Khalid of Toronto.

“It’s really hard,” Khalid’s uncle Khalique Anwar told CityNews.

“It’s hard to say something.”

Jacob, a friend of Khalid’s, said the teen was always ready with a joke.

“He could make you laugh when you were down…I wish he was here,” he said.

Another friend said Khalid was an avid dancer and involved in a program that helped other teens through dance.

Emergency officials were called to the area of Richmond and York streets around 2 a.m. Sunday where they found Khalid in critical condition.

He was taken to hospital where he later died of his injuries.

Police are asking any taxi driver who picked up three to five young men who appeared to be in a hurry in the Queen and York streets area to contact investigators.
