Toronto police will be providing an update Thursday on the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old boy in the city’s Mount Dennis neighbourhood back in June. 

At a news conference on Thursday morning, more details will be provided about the death of Jahkai Jack, who was shot and killed near Buttonwood and Charlton Settlement avenues shortly after 10 p.m. on June 7.

According to police, Jack had arrived in the area with friends to attend a gathering that night and was shot after he had verbal exchange with a male from another group.

“Without provocation, that same individual pulled out a firearm and shot Jahkai,” Det.-Sgt. Phillip Campbell [told reporters back in July.](https://www.cp24.com/local/toronto/2025/07/09/a-completely-unprovoked-act-of-violence-police-appeal-for-witnesses-in-fatal-shooting-of-15-year-old-boy/)

“This was a completely unprovoked act of violence against a 15-year-old boy.”

The suspect fled the area prior to the arrival of officers and no weapon was recovered. 

“He was just 15 years old and had his whole life ahead of him,” Campbell said. “He was not involved in any gangs or any kind of criminality.”
