Toronto man gets life in prison for killing ex-girlfriend in 2022

A Toronto man has been sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years after he was convicted of murdering his ex-girlfriend in an underground parking garage.

Dylon Dowman, 35, was sentenced on Friday in Superior Court in Toronto. On Feb. 20, a jury found him guilty of killing Daniella Mallia, 23, on Aug. 18, 2022.

Mallia had called police three days before her death to report that Dowman had been threatening and harassing her in text messages following their breakup, according to Police Service Act documents linked to the case.

The officers who responded to Mallia’s call for help dismissed it as a case of “he-said, she-said,” the documents said. Their alleged lack of action led them to be charged with misconduct-related offences under the act.

One of the officers involved, Sang Youb Lee, was demoted for a year following disciplinary tribunal hearings. Charges against the second officer, Const. Anson Alfonso, remain outstanding.
