Police identified the victim as Clinton Quintal, 34. An autopsy determined he died of multiple stab wounds and his death was ruled a homicide.

Three days later, police identified as a suspect Irvin Badarm, 31, who was also wanted for a robbery at the Kingsway transit station about an hour before the attack, and charged him with robbery and manslaughter. Police said Quintal and Badarm did not know each other.

At the time, police assumed that more suspects were involved in the attack and robbery.

On Thursday, Adam Chinery, 35, was arrested by police and charged with manslaughter, police said in a news release Friday.

Investigators determined that Chinery did not participate in the robbery. Police say they are no longer looking for further suspects.
