Peel Regional Police have charged two Brampton men in connection with two unrelated fatal shootings in Mississauga last year.
Police said Thursday they have charged Lamar Grant, 24, with second-degree murder in the killing of Kyle Clouden in September.
And Devon Mark,19, has been charged with accessory after the fact to murder in the killing of Mario Ibrahim in October.
In the early morning of Sept. 1, officers responded to an altercation in a restaurant parking lot at Hurontario Street and Central Parkway West. Clouden, suffering from gunshots wounds, was pronounced dead at the scene.
In addition to the murder charge, Grant faces charges for discharging a firearm, assault and mischief in connection with an unrelated event, police said Thursday.
At the time of his arrest, Grant was out on bail for charges relating to the illegal possession of a handgun from January of this year.
On the night of Oct. 22, officers responded to reports of shots being fired in the area of
Webb Drive and Confederation Parkway.
Ibrahim was found in a vehicle suffering from gunshot wounds and died at the scene. Mark was charged with accessory after the fact in that death.
Police say the homicides are not related, but both accused men have affiliations to the same street gang.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Homicide and Missing Persons Bureau at 905-453-2121, extension 3205.
