Police ID 16-year-old in fatal shooting in downtown Toronto condo
CBC
Toronto police have identified the victim in a fatal shooting at a condo near the city's waterfront as 16-year-old Yonadab Dar and said his suspected killer was a friend of the teen.
Dar was found inside an apartment unit at 12 York Street with a gunshot wound after police and paramedics were called to one of the ICE condo buildings just before 6 p.m. Sunday, Det. Sgt. Mike Taylor of the Toronto Police Service told reporters at a news conference Monday morning.
He was pronounced dead at the scene, Taylor said.
A 19-year-old suspect from Toronto turned himself into police the same day. The man has been charged with second-degree murder.
Investigators believe the shooting happened early Sunday morning but wasn't reported to police until that afternoon, Taylor said. He couldn't confirm whether police only became aware of the deadly incident after the accused turned himself in.
"It's a possibility that we're looking into at this point," he said.
Taylor said the victim and his suspected killer were friends but couldn't comment further on their relationship or what may have led to the shooting.
The police's marine unit is searching for a firearm in the waterfront area that was used in the shooting, Taylor said.
This is Toronto's sixth homicide of 2025.
