A man who called police back in May to report that he found his teenage girlfriend unconscious has now been charged with her murder.
In a release, York regional police said they were called to a residence on North Park Road in Vaughan on May 6, just after 8 a.m. after a man said he found his girlfriend not breathing.
The 19-year-old was later pronounced dead at the scene.
An autopsy determined that the cause of death was homicide.
Following a months-long investigation, York police charged the boyfriend last week.
Raphael Banon, 20, of Vaughan is facing a charge of second-degree murder.
