Toronto police are seeking the public's assistance in identifying a man who was found murdered in a Moss Park garage over the weekend, marking the city's 10th homicide of 2026.
On Saturday, May 23, just before 9:30 a.m., emergency crews responded to a medical complaint near Dundas Street East and Seaton Street, east of Sherbourne. Upon arrival, officers were flagged down by a citizen and directed to an unresponsive person inside a nearby private garage.
Police report that the victim showed "obvious signs of trauma" and was pronounced dead at the scene. Two days later, on Monday, May 25, authorities arrested 30-year-old Toronto man Boubacar Dembele, charging him with second-degree murder.
Despite the arrest, investigators have not yet identified the deceased. The victim was described as wearing a silver necklace with a silver winged-heart pendant decorated with a single clear stone in the center, and a black jacket bearing the words "Vision Youth Leaders Program."
Police have released images and digital approximations of the man in hopes that someone may recognize him. Anyone with information regarding the victim's identity or any other details is urged to contact Toronto police at 416-808-5100, 416-808-7400, or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 416-222-TIPS.
