ONTARIO’S Peel Regional Police investigators have charged Jatin Agnihotri, 29, of Toronto for two Brampton shooting incidents believed to be linked.

On Sunday, March 20, 2022, at approximately 5 p.m., it was alleged that the victim, a man in his 20s, was operating his vehicle in the area of Castlemore Road and Drummondville Drive in Brampton, when a masked suspect drove in proximity to the victim and fired several gunshots into the victim’s vehicle. There were no physical injuries sustained as a result of this incident.

A second incident involving the same suspect occurred on Sunday, April 10, 2022, at approximately 11 p.m., when police received a call for a shooting in the area of Cottrelle Boulevard and Goreway Drive in Brampton. It is alleged that the suspect fired multiple gunshots into a residence and a vehicle parked in the driveway of the same home. There were no physical injuries sustained as a result of this incident.

Investigators believe that both of these were targeted incidents.

On February 22, 2023, Agnihotri was arrested and charged with two counts of discharging a firearm with intent. He was held for a bail hearing and appeared before the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton.
