A Ghanaian teenager identified as Prince Abdul Malik has died after being shot in Etobicoke, a district in Toronto, Canada.
The 18-year-old was caught in a fatal shooting on Saturday afternoon, November 7, in the area of Rathburn Road and The East Mall.
Toronto Police said officers were called to the scene shortly after 4:20 p.m., where they found the young man suffering from gunshot wounds.
He was given emergency assistance and rushed to hospital by paramedics but later died from his injuries.
In its official statement, the Toronto Police Service identified him as Malik Abass, 18, of Mississauga. His family has identified him as Prince Abdul Malik, a Ghanaian.
Police said the individual or individuals suspected of being involved had left the area before their arrival.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting remain unclear, and investigators have not announced a motive.
The death has added to the recent grief among Ghanaian communities abroad, following two other deaths involving Ghanaians in New York within days of each other.
