New details have emerged about the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Ghanaian Prince Abdul Malik in Toronto, Canada, with a family associate saying two people dressed in black fled the scene after the incident.

In an interview with Kofi TV, Serwaa Broni, who is close to the deceased’s family, said the shooting happened at about 4:30 pm on Saturday, November 7, 2026, in the Rathburn Road and The East Mall area.

She said the victim’s brother had earlier expressed concern that something bad might happen and called Prince to check on him.

According to her, the brother made the call at about 1:30 pm, but Prince assured him that he was fine.

“The shooting happened around 4:30. Before it happened, his brother said he had a bad feeling that something was about to happen and that was around 1:30, and so he called him (the deceased) on the phone asking about him, and he told his brother that he was okay,” she disclosed.

She added that Prince had left home and was spending time with friends when the shooting occurred outside.

“He had stepped out of the house that day. He was with his friends, and the shooting happened outside,” she stated.

Broni said two people were seen fleeing the scene after the shooting, but their identities remain unknown.

“They said two people fled the scene wearing black. They haven’t identified them yet,” she said.

Describing the deceased, Broni said he was a quiet and intelligent young man who had been in school in Canada since moving there four years ago.

She, however, said the family was unaware of any disagreement between Prince and his friends that could have led to the shooting.

“We don’t know if he had an altercation with his friends that may have turned violent, leading to the shooting or not,” she added.

The family is waiting for the police to complete their investigations and release the body before making burial arrangements.

“We are waiting for the police to conclude their investigation and hand the body to the coroner; then we will proceed to bury him,” she added.

The Toronto Police Service said officers responded to reports of a shooting at about 4:27 p.m. on Saturday, November 7, in the Rathburn Road and The East Mall area.

Officers found Prince with gunshot wounds and immediately began life-saving efforts before paramedics transported him to a hospital.

He was later pronounced dead despite efforts to save his life.
