A 24-year-old man is dead and another man, 66, has been charged with second-degree murder following a stabbing in Mississauga, Peel police say.

Officers were called to a disturbance near the intersection of Hillcrest Avenue and Hurontario Street around 8 p.m. on Friday.

Peel police Const. Danny Marttini said there was an altercation that sent one victim to a local hospital with a stab wound.

The victim, 24, from Mississauga, later succumbed to his injuries, turning the incident into a homicide investigation.

Police say an autopsy is scheduled for later this week, where an official cause of death for the victim will be determined.

The man charged made a brief court appearance Saturday and was then taken back into custody, where he will remain until at least Aug. 13, police said.
