On the day of Marwan Arab’s funeral, the man believed to be the intended victim of the shooting that took the life of the 20-year-old appeared in court, arrested with six others in a raid meant at least partially to stop what Ottawa police believe was a plan to exact revenge for their friend’s cold-blooded killing.
Three people were arrested in a raid by the police guns and gangs unit Tuesday evening on a home on Castlefrank Road and four others were arrested in a traffic stop near Arnprior.
A search warrant executed at the Kanata home Wednesday afternoon turned up a 12-gauge shotgun.
Arab, 20, was shot in the head Sunday evening at Shifa Restaurant in Ottawa’s west end. He died instantly. His cousin, Ayyub Arab, 22, was shot once in the hand and twice in the chest but narrowly survived. The Citizen has learned that neither of the Arab cousins was the intended victim of what homicide detectives maintain was a targeted shooting.
Behzad Behruzi, 29, was with the Arabs the night of the shooting and is believed to have been the target of the gunfire. When a lone gunman began shooting inside the cramped restaurant, Behruzi fled out the back door.
On Tuesday Behruzi was arrested alongside Mohamed Hamad Mohamed, 26, and Abad Abdi Shire, 21 — friends of Marwan. All three were charged with a slew of weapons offences and Behruzi was also charged with drug possession. Behruzi is known to anti-gang police, while Marwan and Ayyub Arab, who had had minor run-ins with the law, were not on their radar.
Ayyub Arab is known to national anti-terror police, who ordered that alleged terror recruiter and financier Awso Peshdary not be in the contact with the young man he had met through the Algonquin College Muslim Students’ Association. Relatives, however, insist that the shooting was not terror-related.
Police had become increasingly concerned that friends of the cousins would seek retribution for the shooting themselves and increased surveillance efforts after the homicide.
Police have also charged Jodilyn Lynn Crozier, 40, who lives at the Castlefrank Road home, Ahmed Ahmed, 31, and two teenaged girls with firearms offences.
All seven appeared in court Wednesday.
Homicide police continue to investigate the Marwan’s killing and the attempt on Ayyub’s life. No suspects are in custody.
