Second suspect charged in deadly King West shooting

Authorities have arrested and charged a second suspect in connection with a shooting that killed a teenager in Toronto’s Entertainment District last year.

The investigation dates back to the early morning hours of November 25, 2025, when detectives say a man from Montreal, identified as 27-year-old Frandy Noel, was approached by a group of males who began shooting at him in the King Street West and Spadina Avenue area at approximately 4:45 a.m.

He was struck by a bullet, but police allege he returned fire with his own gun striking 18-year-old Dylan Adams.

Both individuals were brought to a hospital for treatment. Shortly after, Adams was pronounced dead and became Toronto’s 37th homicide of 2025.

Meanwhile, Noel was arrested the next day and charged with second-degree murder.

On Saturday, authorities provided an update on the case and announced the arrest of 22-year-old Zavion Boswell of Toronto.

He was charged with five offences in connection with the shooting, including manslaughter, robbery with a firearm and three counts of possession of a restricted/prohibited firearm.
