(CBC) After four weeks in court, the crown has presented its final evidence in the trial of three men accused in a Mississauga restaurant shooting three years ago that left one man dead and left four others injured.
Naim Akl, 25, was killed in the May 29, 2021, attack in a restaurant called Chicken Land that was owned by his family. Akl’s mother, father, brother and a family friend were injured.
Jihad Akl, Naim’s father, was shot in the chest that night. It was busy at the restaurant when a man burst in and started firing, he testified in Superior Court in Brampton earlier this week.
“He shot my son in the front first then he shot my driver. … He shot me, he missed the second shot and it went to my son, Naim,” Akl told the jury, saying he remembered seeing Naim Akl covered in blood.
