Peel Region police say they are investigating the homicide of a 14-year-old boy after his body was found Friday morning near a Mississauga park.The discovery was made by a passerby around Hartington Ct., around 8 a.m. in the area of Truscott Dr. and Southdown Rd.Residents in the area, including Jesse Quintano, said the incident “has been traumatizing” for people walking by the area.“A lot of police cars and no one is telling us much,” she said on Instagram. “I walk by there all the time.”Carla Pereira, spokesperson for the Peel District School Board, would not comment on whether the boy attends one of its schools because police have not yet released his identity.She said that in cases where there is a death or a violent incident in the community, schools will always bring in additional suppports to help students and staff if necessary.Homicide detectives are on the scene canvassing the area for witnesses.Anyone with information can call police at 905-453-2121 , ext. 1133 or Peel Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.This homicide comes nearly 10 years to the day that another murder of a 13-year-old in Clarkson left the community reeling. Aleksandra Firgan-Hewie was killed on Dec. 10, 2008. Her much older male friend was convicted of first-degree murder.Correction — Dec. 7, 2018: This story has been updated from a previously published version to correct the boy’s age. Peel Region police originally reported that he was 13 years old.With files from Isabel TeotonioMORE LATER
