Joshua Flores, 17, was charged with criminal homicide, aggravated assault, and tampering with evidence after being arrested by Columbia Borough police Sunday night, according to a news release.
On July 8, Flores reportedly stabbed Anthony Stoy-Velazquez to death in the 200 block of Linden Street, the Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office announced Monday morning.
