  "summary": "An 18-year-old Ghanaian, Prince Abdul Malik, was fatally shot in Toronto, Canada, on November 7, 2026, near the intersection of Rathburn Road and The East Mall in Etobicoke. Toronto Police identified him as Prince Malik Abass and stated that he died from his injuries at the hospital. This brings the total number of homicides in Toronto this year to 33. The incident comes just nine days after another Ghanaian, 15-year-old Javits Frimpong, was shot dead in the Bronx, New York. This tragedy has reignited discussions about gun violence and the protection of young immigrants in North America, particularly in light of previous cases involving Ghanian nationals killed in the region, such as Belinda Sarkodie and Adu Boakye. Toronto homicide detectives are investigating Malik’s death and searching for at least two male suspects wearing dark clothing who fled the scene.",
