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

Toronto police have arrested a fourth suspect in connection with a deadly November shooting that killed an 18-year-old man.

In November of last year, police responded to the area of King Street West and Spadina Avenue after reports of a shooting.

Police allege a group of males approached a man and discharged their firearms, striking him.

The man then allegedly returned fire, striking one victim. He was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The victim, identified as Dylan Adams, 18, of Toronto, was later dropped off at a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said in a news release.
