Overview
- Toronto officers were flagged down near Dundas and Seaton and taken to a private parking garage where they found a person with obvious signs of trauma who was pronounced dead on May 23.
- A post-mortem examination ruled the death a homicide and investigators later corrected an initial gender misidentification of the victim.
- Police announced the arrest of 30-year-old Boubacar Dembele of Toronto and charged him with second-degree murder; he was scheduled to appear in court the day after his arrest.
- Authorities have not released a confirmed identity for the victim but described him as about 5'6" with a medium build, dark hair and eyes, possibly of Asian descent, wearing a silver heart-shaped pendant and a jacket marked 'Vision Youth Leaders Program.'
- Investigators are asking the public and Crime Stoppers for tips as the probe continues and officials note this is the city’s 10th homicide of 2026, a detail that may shape local safety concerns and police response.
