An 18-year-old man and 16-year-old youth have been charged with second-degree murder in the death of Calgary teenager Danillo Canales Glenn.

The 18-year-old died last Tuesday night in the community of Copperfield.

Canales Glenn was playing basketball with friends when he was attacked with pepper spray and stabbed a number of times.

The 16-year-old can't be named due to the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Police aren't releasing the name of the 18-year-old to ensure the identity of the youth is protected.

Police did not disclose the nature of the relationship between the pair. It is unclear why exactly the adult is not being named, but in general under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, information cannot be published that could lead to the identification of the young person charged with a crime.

Each faces a single count of second-degree murder.
