Adrian Walker, one of Canada’s most wanted fugitives, has been apprehended in Oxford, Mississippi, in connection with a double shooting that occurred in Toronto in 2024. The tragic incident claimed the life of Trevor Dalton-John, a beloved 31-year-old father who was known in his community.
Walker, who had been listed on BOLO Canada’s 25 Most Wanted List, was arrested on Monday, March 23, 2026, according to a statement released by Toronto police on Tuesday. Following his arrest, he will be extradited back to Toronto to face serious charges, including first-degree murder, in relation to Dalton-John's death.
Investigators detailed that the double shooting occurred on May 7, 2024, in the Oakwood Village area, specifically near the intersection of Winona Drive and Vaughan Road. At the time of the incident, a man and a woman were standing outside an apartment building when a vehicle approached them, and gunfire erupted. The woman sustained non-life-threatening injuries, while Trevor Dalton-John was fatally wounded and later pronounced dead at the hospital.
In addition to the murder charge, Walker is also facing a charge of attempted murder related to this incident. The authorities emphasized the significance of the case and the need to bring those responsible for Dalton-John's death to justice.
A second suspect named Kemyan Franklyn, a 20-year-old from Toronto, was arrested later and charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder on May 30, 2024. The collaboration between police forces in both Canada and the United States was instrumental in locating and apprehending Walker, showcasing a wider effort to address violent crime and find those who evade justice.
The community continues to mourn the loss of Trevor Dalton-John, reflecting on his life and contributions. Friends and neighbors described him as a “gentle giant,” a testament to the meaningful impact he had on the lives of those around him. As the legal process unfolds, the families affected by this tragedy seek closure and accountability for the senseless violence that took place.
