The Bolo Program, a national initiative that spotlights Canada’s most wanted fugitives, has unveiled its latest Top 25 Most Wanted list Wednesday afternoon in Vancouver.

Toronto Police Service Chief Superintendent Joe Matthews, Bolo Program Executive Director Max Langlois, and senior police officials from across the country announced the updated list while officers wearing masks of the wanted fugitives stood behind them.

An alleged gang member from Montreal who is wanted for the murder of a man outside Yorkdale in July is now the number one suspect. Bryan Fuentes Gramajo is wanted by Toronto police for the murder of Jamal Bentley-Jean on July 17.

Gramajo is allegedly a member of Zone 43, a street gang from Montreal with connections to Ontario and British Columbia.

Five other suspects wanted by Toronto police have also made it onto the Top 25 Most Wanted list.

They include Tamah McLean, wanted for second-degree murder; Dellano Robertson-Berry, wanted for second-degree murder; Adrian Walker, wanted for first-degree murder and attempted murder; Christian Cuxum, wanted for first-degree murder and Kiarash Parzham, also wanted for first-degree murder.

The program, launched in 2018, has become a high-profile tool for law enforcement agencies, leveraging social media campaigns, digital billboards, and community engagement to help track down suspects wanted for violent crimes.

During Wednesday’s announcement, men and women polices officers volunteered to represent those wanted with spoof masks.

“The physical traits of each model behind me matches the fugitive that he or she is portraying,” said Langlois.

“With today’s concept, the spoof masks, we once again raise the bar and what BOLO is wanting to do to encourage you to be on the lookout.”

Since its inception, 14 of the 25 Toronto cases featured have resulted in arrests.

The Bolo Program’s lists have led to several high-profile arrests in recent years. Past fugitives featured on the Top 25 include Rabih Alkhalil, a convicted gangster wanted for murder, who was a fixture on the list until his recent arrest in Qatar.

Dave Turmel, sought by Quebec City police for attempted murder, was considered Canada’s most wanted fugitive until he was taken into custody in March 2025.

According to Bolo, tips from citizens have directly contributed to multiple captures.

Rewards for information leading to arrests range from $50,000 to $250,00.
