Adrian Walker, who was a suspect on BOLO Canada’s 25 Most Wanted List, was arrested on Monday, March 23, 2026, Toronto police said in a release Tuesday.

Walker will now be transported back to Toronto to face charges of first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of Trevor Dalton-John — described by friends and neighbours as a “gentle giant” who ran a security company.


Walker is also facing a charge of attempted murder in relation to the May 7, 2024 double shooting in the Winona Drive and Vaughan Road area of Oakwood Village.
