Two Toronto teens sought in Etobicoke murder of 18-year-old Mississauga resident
Toronto police have issued Canada-wide arrest warrants for two teenage suspects in connection with the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Malik Abass in Etobicoke last week, cp24.com reports.
Abass, of Mississauga, was shot on Nov. 7 at approximately 4:30 p.m. near Rathburn Road and The East Mall. Paramedics administered life-saving measures at the scene before transporting him to hospital, where he later died of his injuries.
Investigators have identified two suspects. Armani Callender, 19, of Toronto, is wanted on charges of second-degree murder, attempted murder, and two firearm-related offences. A warrant has also been issued for Cameron Marlor, 17, of Toronto, on the same four charges. Police say they obtained judicial authorization to publicly identify Marlor, noting that authorization expires Thursday, Nov. 19.
Both suspects are believed to have fled the area before officers arrived.
Days before the warrants were announced, family members and community representatives gathered in a laneway behind an Etobicoke townhouse complex to mourn Abass. The vigil was organized by the Zumunta African Muslims Association of Canada, whose representatives said Abass had arrived in Canada less than four years ago seeking a better life.
"We are here to continue crying about the loss of our son. He was only 18 years old. (He) came to Canada less than four years ago for a better life," said Nurudeen Hussain of the association. "(This young man's) mother came with four children, and he is the second one. He's only 18. He (didn't) deserve this kind of shooting."
Inspector Jeff Allington, speaking to reporters at the scene last week, acknowledged the broader impact of the shooting on the neighbourhood. "We understand that an event like this can be very traumatic for the community and the members that reside and work in the area, and we want to assure you that we are also concerned about this," he said.
The killing is recorded as Toronto's 33rd homicide of 2026. Anyone with information is asked to contact Toronto police.
