Windsor Police Made the Arrest, Toronto Laid the Charges: Darriel Thompson Faces Two Counts of Second-Degree Murder and One of Attempt Murder in the 2022 Killings of Minyali Wur, 24, and Chudier Reat, 20 (August 25, 2026)

TORONTO — A file that had sat open since the third day of 2022 closed a stage on Tuesday afternoon. The Toronto Police Service announced at 1:00 p.m. that Darriel Thompson, of Mississauga, has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder and one count of attempt murder in the shooting at 150 Thirtieth Street that killed Minyali Wur, 24, and Chudier Reat, 20, and left a woman nearby injured. The arrest was not made in Toronto. Windsor Police Service officers located Thompson and took him into custody on Saturday, August 22 — some 350 kilometres down the 401 from the address on the charge sheet.

Thompson was scheduled to be brought before the Toronto Regional Bail Centre at 2201 Finch Avenue West at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, in room 107 — three hours before the Homicide and Missing Persons Unit made the charge public under case 2022-16903.

Three People Shot on a January Monday Evening

What Toronto Police have said about the night itself has not changed in four and a half years, and Tuesday’s release simply reproduced it. At 8:45 p.m. on Monday, January 3, 2022, a radio call for a shooting sent officers to 150 Thirtieth Street, an address in the Long Branch stretch of southwest Etobicoke, a few blocks north of the lake. Officers arrived and found two men on the ground with gunshot wounds. A woman was located nearby, also injured.

All three were taken to hospital. The two men did not survive; they were pronounced dead there. The woman’s injuries were not life-threatening. The dead were identified as Minyali Wur, 24, and Chudier Reat, 20, both of Mississauga — the same municipality the man now charged is said to be from.

That is the entirety of the public account. No description of a vehicle, no number of shooters, no indication of whether the three were together or whether the woman was a bystander. The release issued Tuesday added a name and three counts and nothing else about the events of that evening.

Second-Degree Is the Detail Worth Marking

A double killing in which both victims are shot at the same address at the same moment invites a first-degree theory, and prosecutors reach for one often. Here they have not. Two counts of second-degree murder means that, on the charging document as it stands today, the allegation is an intentional killing without proof of planning.

Charges can be elevated. Preliminary inquiries and Crown reassessments have moved counts up before. But the count laid on the day of arrest is the count investigators believed the evidence would carry, and it is worth recording as filed rather than as it may later become.

The attempt murder count carries its own signal. Attempting to murder the woman — rather than aggravated assault or discharging a firearm with intent — alleges that whoever fired meant her to die too. Police have said nothing about who she is or what she was doing at the address.

What the Release Does Not Say

The Toronto Police Service has not stated a motive, has not said whether Wur and Reat were targeted, and has not described any relationship between the accused and the two dead men beyond the coincidence of a shared home municipality. It has not said whether anyone else is alleged to have been involved. No mention has been made of a firearm being recovered, of a warrant having been outstanding, or of what investigative step produced the arrest after four and a half years.

Nor has any agency attached this file to a group, a crew or a conflict. Gangland Files does not apply a label police have not used, and none has been used here.

The involvement of Windsor Police Service is the one operational detail on the record, and it is unexplained. A Mississauga man arrested in a border city for a killing in Etobicoke could mean a great many things. Police have not indicated which.

Thompson has not entered a plea. None of the allegations has been tested in court.
