MONTREAL – The major crimes unit of the Montreal police force has caught Canada’s most-wanted fugitive.
Montreal police say they arrested Bryan Fuentes Gramajo at around 2:40 a.m. in the Rosemont—La Petite-Patrie borough.
The 24-year-old Montreal native is wanted by Toronto police on a first-degree murder charge for the killing of Kashif Jamal Bentley-Jean, 28, in the parking lot of a Yorkdale shopping centre last July.
Toronto police say in a news release Fuentes Gramajo is scheduled to appear in court at a bail centre in the city on March 10.
Fuentes Gramajo is the second person arrested for the July 2025 killing, after Bradley Lucate Nicolas was arrested for first-degree murder in the case.
Toronto police say they are still looking for Jimmy Prudent, 28, of Montreal, who is wanted for first-degree murder in the Yorkdale killing.
Before his arrest, Fuentes Gramajo was the most-wanted fugitive in Canada atop the Bolo Program, which is operated by a Canadian charity in partnership with the country’s police forces.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 5, 2026.
