Was no hate crime, the shooter's name is Muhammad Ashan Naseer .
A 20-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a drive-by shooting that injured five people in Scarborough back in April.
Around 1 a.m. on April 16, a group of individuals were gathered at a parking lot, in the area of Markham Road and Lawrence Avenue East, trying to decide where to go for a meal after their midnight Ramadan prayer service when the shooting occurred.
A vehicle was seen driving away from the scene, believed to be northbound on Markham Road after approximately six shots were fired.
When officers arrived, they found five men suffering from gunshot wounds. All were transported to hospital.
A suspect was later identified and arrested on Sept. 5. A firearm was also allegedly seized along with 12 rounds of ammunition.
Muhammad Ashan Naseer, 20, is facing several charges including five counts of attempted murder and discharging a firearm with intent to wound, endanger life or prevent arrest.
Superintendent Steve Watts said the suspect was known to police and the shooting is believed to have been targeted. Watts reiterated the police’s previous indication that the incident was not believed to be hate-motivated.
Naseer is being held in custody prior to a bail hearing.
“There is no evidence to lead us to believe that there was anyone else in the vehicle,” Watts said, adding they are not looking for any more suspects.
