Darriel Thompson has been arrested in connection with a 2022 shooting in Etobicoke, Ontario, that left two young Mississauga men dead and a woman injured. Thompson, a Mississauga man, was taken into custody by Windsor police on Saturday, Aug. 22, 2026, more than four years after the shooting.
The case began on Jan. 3, 2022, when Toronto police were called to 150 Thirtieth St., in an industrial area of the Alderwood neighbourhood, near Horner Avenue and Browns Line. The call came at about 8:45 p.m. after police received a report of a shooting.
When officers arrived, they found two men with gunshot wounds. A woman was also found nearby with injuries. All three victims were taken to a hospital for treatment.
The two men did not survive. They were later identified as 24-year-old Minyali Wur and 20-year-old Chudier Reat, both from Mississauga. Their deaths made Wur and Reat the third and fourth homicide victims in Toronto in 2022. The woman survived and was treated for injuries that police said were not life-threatening.
Thompson is now facing two counts of second-degree murder and one count of attempted murder. Windsor police arrested him after he had remained wanted in connection with the case for years. His arrest brings another major development in a homicide investigation that had stayed open long after the shooting.
The case has already led to charges against other people. Camarr Brown, of Brampton, was previously charged with accessory after the fact to murder. Phillip Grant, of Peel Region, was also charged in connection with the deaths of Wur and Reat. Grant faces two counts of second-degree murder, possession of a loaded restricted firearm and possession of a firearm contrary to a court order.
Grant was arrested in January 2025 after Windsor police and other law enforcement officers helped locate him. Before that arrest, Thompson had been among the suspects sought by Toronto police and was featured on Canada’s most-wanted lists.
The investigation centers on what happened inside and around 150 Thirtieth St. on the night Wur and Reat were shot. Police had also appealed to the public for information, including possible video footage or dashcam recordings from the area. The woman’s identity has not been released.
The charges against Thompson have not been tested in court. He is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. His arrest, however, marks a significant turn in a case that began with two young men losing their lives and a third person being wounded on a January night in Etobicoke.
