High-risk sex offender rearrested shortly after release from prison
Vancouver Police say they rearrested high-risk sex offender Randall Hopley on Thursday just hours after he received statutory release from prison. Hopley completed a six-year prison term for the 2011 abduction of a three-year-old boy in southeastern B.C. In 2023, he was the subject of a 10-day manhunt that ended after he was found standing at the locked door of a Vancouver police building.

Silver Alert issued after 32-year-old goes missing in Winnipeg
The Winnipeg Police have issued a Silver Alert and are seeking the public's assistance in locating Alexa Smith, a 32-year-old woman who was last seen on Sunday morning near Harbison Avenue West and Watt Street. Smith is white, 4'11, heavier build with short blonde hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a red T-shirt, beige sweatpants and light runners. Kiana Pott, Smith's younger sister, says she is concerned about her. "She sometimes is nonverbal. She doesn't talk much. She's good, but she's been in and out of the hospital for a little bit, so she could be going on a mental break right now and just wandered away," said Pott. Smith's mother, Dana Smith, says the police have been looking for her daughter, but so far has not heard of any sightings of her. A Silver Alert is activated when a vulnerable adult is reported missing. Anyone with information on Smith's whereabouts can contact the Winnipeg Police Service Missing Persons Unit at 204-986-6250.

One dead after Saturday night shooting in Toronto's west end: police
A male in his teens is dead after a shooting in Toronto's west end on Saturday night, police said. Police said they responded to reports of a shooting in the area of Emmett Avenue and Jane Street just after 10 p.m., where officers found the victim with a gunshot wound. Det. Sgt. Phillip Campbell said the male was rushed to hospital where he was pronounced dead. "We can understand how concerning incidents like this are to members of the community," Campbell said at a news conference Sunday afternoon. "We want to assure the public that we are dedicating all necessary resources to this investigation to find those responsible." Campbell said police do not have a suspect description at this time, but said the suspect fled after the shooting. He said officers will remain in the area as they canvass for video footage and witnesses. "It's way early. There's lots of people that we want to interview. There's lots of family that we wanna talk to. As you can imagine, it is pretty sensitive to some people," Campbell said. Campbell urged anyone with information to contact investigators. "Every time this happens, somebody loses somebody they love and care about, and it's pretty harmful," he said. "It has a ripple effect on the community." This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 8, 2025. Rianna Lim, The Canadian Press
