Two of the top 25 most wanted people across Canada are charged by Ottawa police with murder.
The Bolo program shared an updated list of Canada’s top 25 most wanted fugitives on Wednesday, and investigators are offering financial rewards to anyone with information about their whereabouts.
Topping the list is a man wanted by Toronto Police Service named Bryan Fuentes Gramajo. In the release, officials say he is known to be affiliated with a Montreal-based gang named ‘Zone 43.’ He has prior convictions and is actively evading arrest, police believe. He’s wanted in connection with a shooting at a Toronto mall that left a 28-year-old dead.
Ottawa police have two suspects wanted in connection with murders in the nation’s capital.
Mohamed Shire, 34, has been named 11th on the fugitive list of Canada’s top 25 most wanted criminals.
The Toronto man is wanted in connection with a double homicide in an Alta Vista Drive parking lot in May 2021. A reward of up to $50,000 is being offered by the Bolo program for information leading to the arrest of Shire.
He is wanted on two counts of first-degree murder of brothers, Abdulaziz Abdullah and Mohamed Abdullah, and one count of attempted murder.
Dropping from eighth to nineteenth is Gibriil Bakal, 29, of Edmonton. He is wanted for first-degree murder in the shooting death of a man in Little Italy in 2024. One person was charged with accessory after the fact to murder in February, but police say Bakal is still at large.
The Bolo 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.
The 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.
