Two young men are facing aggravated assault and several firearms charges in connection with a shooting outside a Mississauga restaurant in which a teenager was shot in the face.

Peel Regional Police announced arrests in the case on the evening of Friday, Nov. 17.

The 18-year-old female from Toronto was rushed to a Toronto trauma centre with serious injuries after the Sept. 1 shooting outside Zet’s restaurant near Pearson International Airport at 6445 Airport Road, just before 1 a.m.

She continues to recover from those facial injuries.

Police believe there was some type of verbal argument inside the restaurant involving the teen victim prior to the gunfire erupting. The teen was hit by gunfire while seated in the driver’s seat of her car.

Another woman was in the car at the time of the shooting, but was unharmed, police said.

Paul Dunkley, 25, of Toronto, and Roydel Duncan, 22, of Mississauga, have been charged with aggravated assault. Both men also face a total of 19 firearms-related charges and have been remanded in custody pending a special bail hearing.

The shooting sent off a firestorm of comments online from people who work near the restaurant.

“It’s madness,” said Gerald Kowalewicz, who works at a mechanic shop near the restaurant, on Facebook. “I go to that restaurant at least once a month.”
