Homicide and Missing Persons Unit Police have arrested a man alleged to have attacked and killed an unhoused man, without warning or provocation thanks to a tip from the public.
On Friday, March 21, 2025, Homicide investigators released a photo of a suspect, and shortly afterwards, Adimabua Chukwuka, 31, of Toronto, was arrested and charged with First Degree Murder.
On March 20, police responded to a call from University of Toronto Campus Safety Special Constables regarding a man lying on the ground near 144 College St. on the university grounds. He had visible injuries and was unconscious and not breathing.
Mario Ferreira, 60, of Toronto, was pronounced deceased after police, fire and paramedics attended the scene.
“We are committed to bringing justice to Mr. Ferreira and his loved ones,” added Grieve. “We are asking anyone who may have seen something, no matter how small, to call immediately.”
Grieve said investigators have been working around the clock to gather evidence and review security footage from the surrounding area.
“We are continuing to canvas for additional video and information,” he said, asking anyone with more footage to contact police.
Based on video footage reviewed so far, the victim was lying on a bench near 6 Queen’s Park Crescent around 5:20 a.m. when the suspect armed himself with debris, possibly from a construction site or nearby dumpster.
“Without warning or provocation the suspect approaches Mr. Ferreira, who is lying on the bench and uses that debris to assault him repeatedly and violently. He then feld the area holding the debris he used to commit the assault.”
He asked anyone in the area at that time to contact Homicide investigators.
“If you were in the Queen’s Park area between 5 and 5:30 a.m. and saw anything suspicious or if you recognize the person in the images we are releasing today, please contact police. Your information is vital.”
The Homicide officer urged the suspect to seek legal counsel and turn himself into police.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 416-808-7400, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477), or at www.222tips.com.
PressMyButton: Una dey do una self, if you don't marginalize yourselves, nobody can marginalize you. This is same reason they have not had a sixth state because they never agreed on anything among themselves. Tinubu should relocate the projects to SW or NC.
What is the justification for a sixth state when the existing five are just marginally bigger than Oyo State?
BiafranPatriot: It was an off shoot of the INDIGENIZATION policy of Awolowo.
Yotuba destroyed tge educational threshold in Nigeria with their nepotistic and tribal alignments.
Nuff Said
You are a typical Biafra*d liar.
Ghana-Must-Go was activated via a Presidential Executive Order on January 17, 1983.
President- Shehu Shagari Vice-President- Alex Ekwueme
The indigenisation policy was pursued within the Federal Government's National Development Plan for 1970–74. In February 1972, the Nigerian Enterprises Promotion Decree was promulgated to be effective in April 1974.
Max24: Same Lagos her kinsmen call a slum. Why not SE, the land of the billionaires. These people are funny. The same Yorubas that they hate is where they come to to burry their dead. Thank God for the accommodating nature of the Omoluabis. No hatred or envy among them. Obi supporters better repent so that God can answer their prayers. Hope other tribes can judge between us and these people.
Relax . This decision was likely made by her Yoruba sons. If it were you, what would you do? Take her corpse all the way to a place you don’t ever intend to visit?
That’s a lie. She only had children for a Yoruba Muslim man. She died a single mother.
She is obviously being buried in Lagos because her Yoruba sons don’t want the hassle of visiting wherever she came from anytime they want to visit her grave.
The reality is that any candidate who hopes to defeat the ruling party and its candidate must do so on the strength of votes. Any other thing not known to the law as of today is just noise.
McStoic: Even most of your friends who used to vibe with you, once they travel, dem go begin give you attitude. Others who have travelled will discourage you from coming over. It's genetical methinks
This says more about the people you associate with, not the generality of Nigerians.
If you knew the population of Christians in the North, especially the North Central, plus the entire South: which is largely Christian dominated in at least 13 states, you would keep quiet.
We have: Ekiti, Ondo (majorly Christian states) in Yoruba land, the rest 4 are 50-50 at most, the SE is 99% Christian dominated and despite their preference for Obi, so many are willing to vote for Osinbajo, the SS is purely Christian, so what are you all saying?
Religion aside, a lot of educated, well-meaning and non-politically partisan Nigerians don't even believe in Tinubu due to his corruption-related antecedents and also because he is ailing.
Osinbajo is the surest bet for APC.
You should know better than to include the south-west in permutations based on religion.
