Apparently out on bail when he went back to stealing and killing. Was dancing and rapping on social media after the murder. Wild.

Toronto police say a 14-year-old boy has been charged with second-degree murder after a woman in her 70s was fatally stabbed late last week in North York.
Investigators say the victim, identified as 71-year-old Toronto resident Shahnaz Pestonji, was attacked in a parking lot while loading groceries into her vehicle.
Mendelson said investigators took the “fairly rare” step of seeking a provincial court order to release the teen’s identity and photograph, which he noted was from Toronto police - meaning that they’d had some sort of previous interaction with him.
He also pointed to the fact that the accused had allegedly taken to social media to post some of his “thoughts and excuses” online, which Mendelson said could have had a “component in locating him.” He also noted that police had said that the teen was known to frequent the TTC.
Lewis added that he finds it “chilling” that the accused is being referred to as a “boy.”
“This is a 14-year-old who is talking so kind of nonchalant about killing someone. you know. He talks about why he was there, what happened, and said, you know, didn’t really intend on killing her, but so be it,” the expert said, adding that the most jail time the accused could face, as a young offender, is 10 years.
