Man stabbed to death in Toronto after Ghana win

TORONTO, Canada - A man is dead in the city after being stabbed a number of times in the chest and the back. Police found the body at a Jane and Wilson shopping plaza, with no vital signs.

He was rushed to Sunnybrook, where he was pronounced dead.

Three suspects have been arrested by police. Two were arrested at the scene.

The man was apparently stabbed while celebrating Ghana's win over the U.S. yesterday at the World Cup.

Witnesses say he had on a blue bandana, which may have played a role in his death. Area residents say a gang that wears red is prominent in the area.
