Toronto police say they have charged a 26-year-old man in relation to a deadly weekend shooting outside Scotiabank Arena. 

Police say they responded to reports of a shooting just after 7:30 p.m. on Saturday at Bremner Boulevard and York Street. 

They say officers found 24-year-old Stephen Little-McClacken suffering from gunshot wounds at the scene, where he was pronounced dead. 

A 26-year-old man from Vaughan, Ont. has now been arrested and charged with second-degree murder. 

Police say he made an appearance at a downtown court on Wednesday. 

The shooting briefly paused train and bus services at nearby Union Station.
