(Global News) A fatal shooting at a Mississauga, Ont., chicken restaurant in May 2021 was allegedly motivated by the accused trying to stop the victim from telling police that a group of men he was in business with had pledged allegiance to ISIS.
That’s what Assistant Crown Attorney David D’Iorio told the jury in his opening address at the Brampton Superior Courthouse this week.
On the evening of May 29, 2021, 22-year-old Daniel Akl was working at the front counter of his family’s Chicken Land restaurant at the corner of Glen Erin and The Collegeway in Mississauga. Akl’s parents had been operating the takeout restaurant for nearly three decades. Along with Daniel, his parents, his brother Naim, his teenage sister Sandra and a friend of the family, Rohullah Rawi, were all hard at work.
