A second arrest has been made in the shooting death of 18-year-old Dylan Adams downtown Toronto on Nov. 25, 2025.

Police have announced the arrest of a third suspect wanted in connection with a fatal downtown Toronto shooting in November of last year.

In a news release issued Monday, police said officers responded to the area of King Street West and Spadina Avenue around 4:45 a.m. on Nov. 25 following reports of a shooting.

Police allege the accused was approached by a group of males who discharged firearms, striking him. The accused then allegedly returned fire, striking one victim. The accused was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The victim, identified as Dylan Adams, 18, of Toronto, was later dropped off at a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Previously, police arrested two suspects in connection with the incident. Frandy Noel, 27, of Toronto, was arrested a day after the shooting and charged with second-degree murder.

On April 11, police arrested 22-year-old Zavion Boswell, of Toronto, and charged him with numerous offences, including manslaughter, robbery with a firearm and three counts of possession of a restricted or prohibited firearm.

On Monday, police arrested another suspect identified as Wissem Mohamed Rehayem, 30, of Montreal. He has been charged with multiple charges including unauthorized possession of a firearm and possession of a firearm contrary to prohibition order.

He was scheduled to appear in court Monday afternoon.

Police are still searching for one suspect, Steven Brice Pierre, 27, of Montreal, who is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for multiple charges, including unauthorized possession of a firearm and accessory after the fact to discharge a firearm being reckless to life.

Police say Pierre is considered dangerous and advise the public not to approach him if located, and to call 9-1-1 immediately.

This was Toronto’s 37th homicide of the year according to police.
