Toronto police once again identify 2 suspects wanted in JahVai Roy fatal shooting

Toronto police have once again received court permission to publicly identify two youths wanted in connection with the shooting death of an eight-year-old boy last month.

Two teens are wanted for first-degree murder of JahVai Roy, who was killed by a stray bullet as he slept in his bed in an apartment building at 15 Martha Eaton Way in the early morning hours of August 16.

Usually, the names of young offenders are protected by the Youth Criminal Justice Act, but in this case, police have received judicial authorization to identify the teens until 2 p.m. on September 24. Editor’s note: The teens’ names and photos were removed from this article on Sept. 24, 2025 at 1:46 p.m.

Earlier this month, investigators arrested a 16-year-old in connection with the shooting. He is facing a first-degree murder charge as well as five firearms-related charges.

Police have previously released images of a white Acura believed to have been involved in the shooting.
