Bail Upheld for Teen Accused in U.S. Consulate Shooting
A judge has confirmed the decision to grant bail to a 19-year-old facing charges related to a March shooting incident at the U.S. Consulate in Toronto. The Crown's attempt to revoke the bail was unsuccessful.
An Ontario court has maintained a bail decision for a 19-year-old man accused in connection with a shooting incident at the U.S. Consulate in downtown Toronto. The man, Zara Jabbi, was arrested in June and faces multiple charges, including firing a weapon and vehicle theft, stemming from a March 10 incident. Toronto police reported that two individuals discharged firearms at the consulate before fleeing in a stolen vehicle. Jabbi was initially released on bail in July, but the Crown appealed this decision. On Thursday, a judge dismissed the Crown's appeal, allowing Jabbi to remain on bail. An 18-year-old, Sheldon Tracey-Stewart, was also arrested in June in relation to the same shooting. Police have stated that Jabbi is not directly linked to the unrelated shooting death of Constable Marc Pinizzotto, which occurred while police were executing search warrants connected to various city shootings.
