Sixteen-year-old Gabriel Magalhaes was heading home after spending time at the Eaton Centre with friends on Saturday when he was fatally stabbed at a subway station in what Toronto police have said was an “unprovoked” attack.

In an emotional interview with Global News on Monday, Gabriel’s mother Andrea Magalhaes and father Antonio Magalhaes spoke about who their son was and what they hope to see to prevent more violent attacks.

Andrea said she came to Toronto in 2000 from Brazil in search for a better life, saying that “We left São Paulo — a very, very, very dangerous city. Very violent.”

“We were looking for a better life, opportunities. We wanted to have children. We wanted safety for our children so we came to Toronto,” she said, adding that life in Toronto has been “amazing” and she “never” thought something like this would happen to one of her children.
