Two teenage suspects declared wanted over killing of Ghanaian teenager, Malik Abass, in Canada

Canadian police have obtained Canada-wide arrest warrants for two suspects in connection with the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Ghanaian Malik Abass in Toronto. The Toronto Police Service, in an update issued on Saturday, November 14, identified the suspects as 19-year-old Armani Calendar and 17-year-old Cameron Marlor. The development comes a week after Abass was shot dead in the Rathburn Road and The East Mall area of Etobicoke, Toronto.

According to police, officers responded to reports of a shooting at about 4:27 p.m. on Saturday, November 7, 2026. Upon arrival, they found a male victim suffering from gunshot wounds and immediately began life-saving efforts before paramedics transported him to the hospital. He was, however, pronounced dead at the hospital. Police said the suspects had fled the scene before officers arrived.

The victim was subsequently identified as Malik Abass, 18, of Mississauga. Two suspects face four charges Investigations by the Toronto Police Service’s Homicide and Missing Persons Unit led to the identification of the two suspects, who are both from Toronto. Each suspect is wanted on four charges, including second-degree murder, attempted murder, possession of a firearm knowingly without a licence, and possession of a loaded regulated firearm.

Police obtain authorisation to identify 17-year-old suspect Police say they obtained judicial authorisation to publicly identify the 17-year-old suspect, in accordance with the legal requirements governing the identification of young persons. The authorisation is scheduled to expire at noon on Thursday, November 19, 2026. The disclosure allows police to release the suspect’s identity and photograph within the period specified by the court’s authorisation.

Police appeal for public assistance With the two suspects still wanted and Canada-wide arrest warrants issued, investigators are appealing to the public for information that could assist in locating them. Anyone with information about the shooting or the whereabouts of the suspects is urged to contact the Toronto Police Service’s Homicide and Missing Persons Unit on 416-808-7400.

The investigation remains ongoing. Abass’s death has brought renewed attention to the impact of gun violence on families and communities, particularly following the loss of a young Ghanaian in the Canadian city. Police say information from the public could prove crucial in locating the suspects and advancing the investigation.
