Bassi was rushed to a Toronto trauma centre where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Gurraj Bassi, 21, of Brampton, is facing a first-degree murder charge.
There’s no relation between the victim and the accused, say investigators.
But Gurraj Bassi is the cousin of Karanvir Singh Bassi – arrested on March 20 – who’s also facing a first-degree murder charge in this case along with another 22-year-old Brampton man, Guryodh Singh Khattra.
It’s unclear if there are more suspects outstanding.
Gurraj Bassi will appear in Brampton court on Saturday for a bail hearing.
