Toronto police said Wednesday they have charged four more people over two drive-by shooting incidents involving fake guns fired at Jewish people earlier this year.

The suspects are 20-year-old Luka Chokheli and 23-year-old Alishahin Isayev, both from Toronto, a 16-year-old boy also from Toronto, and a 17-year-old girl from Thornhill, police said. They were arrested on May 22.

All have been charged with three counts of assault with a weapon and one count of possession of a weapon.

“While the weapon involved was an imitation firearm, the victims did not know that at the time,” Toronto police Chief Supt. Katherine Stephenson said at a news conference. “They believed they were being shot at, and they experienced the fear and shock that comes with believing that someone is shooting at you.”

Isayev and the teenage girl were additionally charged with mischievous interference with property.

The attacks were on April 30 and May 7 and involved victims “visibly identifiable as Jewish,” Stephenson said.
