Three charged in teen’s murder

Ottawa police charged three men Wednesday in connection with the murder of a 16-year-old boy on Monday.

Abdulhamid Wehbe, 20, has been charged with second-degree murder in relation to the death of 16-year-old Yazden Ghiasi.

Zakaria Dourhnou, 18, and Khaled Wehbe, 19, were each charged with being an accessory after the fact.

Police confirmed Tuesday they were treating the death of Ghiasi as a homicide. An autopsy confirmed that the boy died from a gunshot wound.

Witnesses say the teen was shot and dumped from a car on Booth Street late Monday morning.

Emergency services responded to a call at 10:27 a.m. Monday in the 300 block on Booth Street where Ghiasi was found unconscious. He later died in hospital.

All three men charged will appear in court Wednesday.
