2nd arrest made in downtown Toronto shooting that left 18-year-old dead

A second arrest has been made in the shooting death of 18-year-old Dylan Adams downtown Toronto on Nov. 25, 2025.

A second suspect has been arrested in connection with a fatal downtown shooting that left an 18-year-old man dead late last year.

In a news release, Toronto police say officers were initially called to the King Street West and Spadina Avenue area at around 4:45 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2025, for reports of a shooting.

Police allege the accused was approached by a group of males, who then discharged firearms, striking him. Police further add that the accused allegedly returned fire, hitting one of the males in the group.

The accused was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, while the victim was dropped off at hospital a short time later and pronounced dead.

He has since been identified as 18-year-old Dylan Adams, of Toronto.

The following day, on Nov. 26, police then arrested 27-year-old Frandy Noel, of Toronto, who was charged with second degree murder.

Now, months later, investigators say a second arrest has been made.

Earlier this week, on Friday, 22-year-old Zavion Boswell, of Toronto, was arrested and charged with:

• Manslaughter
• Robbery with a Firearm
• Robbery
• three counts of Possession of Restricted/Prohibited Firearm
• Occupant of a Motor Vehicle in Which There is a Restricted/Prohibited Firearm

He is scheduled to appear in court at the Toronto Regional Bail Centre.

Police say this was Toronto’s 37th homicide of 2025.

The investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
