A Toronto man acquitted by a jury of a double murder just three months ago is facing attempted murder and weapons charges in connection with a downtown shooting that happened early Friday while Raptors celebrations carried on nearby.

Kamal Hassan, 26, is one of two men accused of trying to kill a 19-year-old, who was shot on Ryerson University campus near Yonge and Gould Sts. around 4 a.m., according to the information, the court document that lays out the charges and basics of the allegations. Hassan made a brief court appearance Friday and is due back in court Tuesday.

Mohamed Abdulrahman Abdullahi, 23, is also charged with attempted murder and firearms offences including illegal possession of a restricted firearm called a P80 pistol and ammunition.

Toronto police allege Abdullahi got involved in an altercation with the victim, produced a gun and shot him multiple times even after he lay on the ground.

He and Hassan and their friends allegedly tried to flee the scene but were stopped by officers who arrested the pair and four others.

Ilyas Riyaleh, 23, Zachary Cust, 21, Nathaniel Campbell, 33, were all allegedly armed and now face firearms offences. Jovane Watson, 20, was charged with possession of cocaine for the purposes of trafficking and possession of proceeds of crime.

According to the court document, Abdullahi is charged with discharging a firearm while Hassan is not. On top of the attempted murder charge, Hassan is charged with possessing a restricted firearm, “an unknown model handgun,” as well as breaching his recognizance to not possess any weapons.

The alleged motive is unclear and the victim’s condition is not known.

In March, a jury found Hassan not guilty of shooting Mohamed Dirie and Abdiweli Abdullahi, also both 26, inside a condo on Lisgar St., near King St. W. And Dufferin St. early June 28, 2015.

Murder accused tells court he watched another man shoot and kill two victims

His co-accused, Kwasi Skene-Peters, 21, died in a shootout with police trying to arrest him for the double murder.

Hassan was at the condo but denied shooting the men.

The Crown’s main evidence against Hassan was surveillance video taken inside an elevator showing him laughing and re-enacting the murders with Skene-Peters.

Hassan testified that his elevator actions were an attempt to pacify Skene-Peters, whom he said he watched gun down the two men and steal Dirie’s gold chain and watch.

“I’m scared,” Hassan testified. “I didn’t know what his next move was.”

The jury deliberated for about a day and a half before finding Hassan not guilty of first or second-degree murder. He walked out of court a free man after spending nearly four years in pretrial custody.
