Toronto police say a 20-year-old man has been charged with second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old boy in Toronto’s west end last year.
On June 7, 2025, officers responded to reports of a shooting around 10:06 p.m. in the area of Emmett Avenue and Jane Street.
Investigators said police arrived and found Jahkai Jack, 15, suffering from a gunshot wound.
He was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police said the suspect fled the area before officers arrived.
Police said a 20-year-old suspect, Abdul Yeberebaba of Toronto, who was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for second-degree murder, has been arrested.
On Feb. 27, 2026, Yeberebaba was taken into custody by the Calgary Police Service. He has since been returned to Toronto and charged with second-degree murder, according to a release.
He was scheduled to appear in court at the Toronto Regional Bail Centre on Finch Avenue West on March 6.
