Toronto police arrest final suspect in US consulate attack

Published 19 June 2026

Toronto police have arrested the final suspect wanted in connection with a March shooting at the United States Consulate, concluding a months-long investigation that also led to the death of an officer during a series of raids earlier this month. Zara Jabbi, 19, was taken into custody at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Wednesday, June 17, 2026.

Jabbi faces six charges, including theft of a motor vehicle, possession of property obtained by crime, discharge of a restricted firearm, and attack on premises of internationally protected persons. He is scheduled to appear remotely at a bail hearing.

The arrest is linked to an incident in the early morning hours of March 10, 2026. According to police, a stolen white Honda CRV stopped in front of the U.S. Consulate on University Avenue. Two suspects, identified as Jabbi and 18-year-old Sheldon Tracey-Stewart, exited the vehicle and fired multiple rounds at the building before fleeing. Security footage showed the suspects recording the attack on their cellphones. No one inside the consulate was injured, but the building's glass and doors were damaged. The shooting was treated as a national security incident.
