Toronto police have made a significant breakthrough in the investigation surrounding the tragic shooting death of 18-year-old Dylan Adams, which occurred in the city’s vibrant Entertainment District in 2025. An additional suspect, identified as Wissem Mohamed Rehayem, aged 30 and hailing from Montreal, was arrested on April 27, 2026. Rehayem has been charged with several offenses, including unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm contrary to a prohibition order, and accessory after the fact to the indictable offence of discharge firearm endangering life.
This latest arrest marks the third suspect apprehended in connection with the fatal incident, as law enforcement continues to search for one remaining individual connected to the case. The investigation traces back to the early morning hours of November 25, 2025. At approximately 4:45 a.m., in the area of King Street West and Spadina Avenue, a group of males approached 27-year-old Frandy Noel from Montreal, prompting a violent exchange of gunfire.
During the encounter, Noel was reportedly hit by a bullet, which led him to return fire with his own weapon. Tragically, in the crossfire, Dylan Adams was struck and subsequently succumbed to his injuries. Following the incident, Frandy Noel was arrested the following day and charged with second-degree murder in relation to Adams’s death.
In addition to Rehayem, another suspect named Zavion Boswell, aged 22 from Toronto, was arrested earlier in April 2026. Boswell faces multiple charges linked to the shooting, including manslaughter, robbery with a firearm, and three counts of possession of a restricted or prohibited firearm. His involvement adds another layer to the complex case that has garnered public attention.
Despite the arrests, one suspect remains at large. Police have identified this individual as 26-year-old Steven Brice Pierre, also from Montreal. According to a police statement, Pierre is believed to have connections in both Toronto and Montreal, leading authorities to classify him as armed and dangerous. The police have urged the public to exercise caution, advising that anyone who comes into contact with Pierre should not approach him and should instead call 9-1-1 immediately.
The series of events that led to Dylan Adams’s death highlights ongoing issues surrounding gun violence and public safety in urban environments. The investigation remains active, with police working diligently to ensure all individuals involved in this tragic incident are brought to justice. As the community continues to seek answers, the case serves as a stark reminder of the need for effective measures to address violence and promote safety within the city.
