One of the accused in the murder of a Brampton teenager has plead guilty to second-degree murder.

On June 30, 2020, members of the Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) responded to a homicide on 10 Side Road near Guelph Line in Milton. The victim was 16-year-old Ezekiel Agyemang of Brampton and the cause of his death determined to be a gunshot wound. Ezekiel was known as “Zeke” to his family and friends.

A lengthy investigation was undertaken by members of the HRPS Homicide Unit and four individuals were initially arrested and charged. One of the arrested parties, Ahmed Ismail (28) of Toronto was initially charged with the offences of kidnapping and first-degree murder.

On October 4, 2024, while appearing in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Milton, Ismail entered a guilty plea to the charge of second-degree murder in the death of Ezekiel.

Ismail is scheduled to be sentenced on December 17, 2024.

Although the tragic loss of Zeke will continue to be felt by his family and throughout the community, the Halton Regional Police Service hopes this outcome will bring some measure of healing.

The charges against two of the four arrested parties were stayed by the courts and the charges against the fourth accused is still before the courts.
