The Toronto Police Service has arrested and charged an outstanding suspect wanted in connection with the shooting at the U.S. Consulate in March 2026. Zara Jabbi, 19, was taken into custody and now faces charges related to the incident.

On Tuesday, March 10, 2026, at approximately 5:29 a.m., police responded to a call at the United States Consulate located at 360 University Avenue.

It is alleged that:

• a white Honda CR-V was travelling westbound on Dundas Street West, turned southbound onto University Avenue, and stopped in front of the Consulate
• two male suspects exited the vehicle and fired multiple rounds at the building (Sheldon Tracey-Stewart and Zara Jabbi)
• the suspects then re-entered the vehicle and drove southbound on University Avenue
• responding officers located evidence consistent with a firearm discharge, including damage to the glass and doors of the building, as well as shell casings at the scene
• people were inside the building at the time; no injuries were reported
• surveillance video later showed the suspects discharging firearms at the building and recording video of the incident on their phones
• the vehicle, which had been stolen shortly before the incident, was later located abandoned in Scarborough
