Zhou Fang, 24, was arrested and was to appear in court in Toronto Friday.

Police said Zhou was seen running from the library. He then allegedly jumped into a U-Haul rental truck and drove off. He was arrested a short time later.

"It's still unclear exactly what sparked this incident," said Constable Tony Vella. "The motivation behind this killing is certainly a major factor here."
