The teen suspect accused in the prom night murder of Brandon Volpi made a brief court appearance Saturday morning in Ottawa.
18-year-old Devontay Hackett was arrested Friday afternoon in Toronto. He was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant in connection with the death of 18-year-old Brandon Volpi.
Hackett was wanted for second-degree murder.
Volpi was stabbed to death in the early morning hours of June 7, 2014 during an overnight prom celebration outside a downtown hotel.
Volpi was a student at St. Patrick's High School.
Hackett was enrolled at St. Pius X High School.
Danny Volpi, the father of the victim, told CTV Ottawa he's relieved with the news of Hackett's arrest.
'It was a matter of time, I knew he couldn't run forever', Volpi said.
