A loaded 9 mm Ruger-semi automatic handgun and a loaded .45 calibre Ruger semi-automatic handgun were allegedly seized during a July 24 raid in the Gerrard-Coxwell area. (TPS photo) Five people, including three youths, are facing charges after gunshots were fired from a vehicle towards a group of people on the street in the city's east end following a fight earlier this month. The shooting happened on July 5 in the Leslieville neighbourhood, near Gerrard Street East and Coxwell Avenue. Toronto police said they responded to a call for a shooting in that area just before midnight. Investigators allege that an altercation broke out between two groups of people – one in a vehicle and another on the street. They say a gun was then shot from the vehicle towards the group on the street. No one was injured, but a property was damaged, police say. Members of Toronto police's Gun and Gang Task Force – Centralized Shooting Response Team launched an investigation and identified five suspects in connection with this shooting.

Faebian Dos Santos, 19, of Toronto, was subsequently arrested. He is facing numerous firearms-related charges.
