A man wanted in a brazen daylight shooting in Toronto’s Beaches area earlier this month has been arrested.

Toronto Police say an Audi was stopped at a red light at the intersection of Woodbine Ave. and Kingston Rd. on Jan. 6 around 2:30 p.m. when a black Mercedes pulled up behind. A man got out of the Mercedes, went to the passenger side of the Audi and fired a gun, hitting two people. He then fled on foot.

The Mercedes fled and got in a collision on Queen St. E., east of Woodbine. Four men then ran off.

The Audi drove south on Woodbine and stopped at a business on Queen St. E. seeking help. The injured pair were taken to hospital for treatment.

Two men who had fled the Mercedes were found by officers and arrested. Three firearms were also seized. Rodrigues Sendia, 20, and Ajmain Rahman, 21, both of Toronto, were charged with attempted murder and unauthorized possession of a firearm. Sendia was also charged with failing to comply with probation.

On Jan. 13, police said they were looking for John Okoro, 23, of Toronto, for nine charges in relation to the shooting including attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder and failure to comply with probation.

Police said Monday that Okoro had been arrested on Friday in Barrie on an unrelated matter.
