Teens watch as schoolmate stabbed to death in Oshawa

Durham police said an ongoing dispute between two Oshawa teens sparked a fight that ended with a 16-year-old boy being fatally stabbed in front of a crowd of students at a bus shelter Tuesday afternoon.

The victim, identified by friends as Mike McDonald, got into a fight with a fellow student from Oshawa's Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School while they waited for the bus across the road from the school at Rossland and Stevenson Rds., friends said.

Moments later, he was stabbed in the chest and fell to the ground, said Kyle Roberts, 19, a former student who played football with McDonald. "I saw him lying on the ground being worked on as they tried to resuscitate him."

McDonald, known at school as "Biggie," was rushed to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

An 18-year-old was arrested within minutes, said Durham police spokesman Dave Selby.

McDonald is the region's fourth homicide victim this year.
