A 25-year-old man from Toronto is facing murder and other charges in connection with stabbing attacks in Sault Ste. Marie last week.
Steven Jones is charged in connection with the death of 22-year-old Taylor Marshall, whose body was found Sept. 7 in a multi-unit residential building on John Street.
Police are unsure what time she was killed, but they said both Marshall’s death and a second stabbing victim “were random acts of violence.”
“Both of those incidents were believed to be random acts of violence and were believed to be … only one perpetrator involved," said Insp. Brent Duguay.
"This accused has been identified and, once again, is from Toronto, Ont. We believe he attended our community just a few short days before the attacks occurred.”
Jones has been in custody since his arrest in connection with the stabbing attack on the boardwalk, also Sept. 7.
“It was determined the victim sustained significant stab wounds resulting in their death,” police said in a news release Thursday.
