Canada-wide warrants issued in fatal shooting of Mississauga teen in Etobicoke
Toronto police have issued Canada-wide warrants for two suspects in the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Malik Abass in Etobicoke, thestar.com reports. The warrants were announced days after family and friends held a vigil at the laneway where Abass was killed.
Police identified the suspects on Saturday as Armani Callender, 19, and Cameron Marlor, 17, both of Toronto. Each faces four charges: second-degree murder, attempted murder and two firearms offences.
In Marlor's case, police obtained judicial authorization to publicly identify the young person — authorization that expires Nov. 19 at noon.
Abass, of Mississauga, was shot near Rathburn Road and The East Mall on Nov. 7, shortly before 4:30 p.m. Officers found him with gunshot wounds and rushed him to hospital, where he later died. His death was recorded as Toronto's 33rd homicide of the year.
A vigil was held Thursday evening at the Etobicoke laneway where Abass lost his life. His mother, Amina Abdellah, previously told thestar.com that her son loved making jokes, singing and helping around the house. Abass was a Grade 12 student at Silverthorn Collegiate Institute who had aspired to become a lawyer.
Anyone with information about the shooting or the suspects' whereabouts is asked to contact Toronto police at 416-808-7400.
