(CBC) The alleged getaway driver from a shooting at a family-owned restaurant in Mississauga three years ago told a friend he was “shocked” by the situation while visiting the scene hours after bullets flew, court heard Wednesday.
The shooting at Chicken Land, on Glen Erin Drive and the Collegeway in Mississauga, took place on May 29, 2021, and left Naim Akl, 25, dead. Akl’s mother, father and brother, and a family friend were also shot.
Crown prosecutors allege the shooting was planned by three men — Anand Nath, Suliman Raza and Naqash Abbasi. All three men have pleaded not guilty to one count of first-degree murder and five counts of attempted murder.
Prosecutors allege the three men had pledged allegiance to ISIS and were looking to silence Akl, who threatened to go to police about their actions.
