On Thursday, Jan. 17, 2019, at approximately 7:30 a.m. police were dispatched to a suite in the area of 118 Avenue and 95 Street regarding a mischief complaint. When officers arrived, they observed a broken glass door. Upon further investigation, officers located several bullet holes throughout the apartment; however no one was located inside the suite.
On Saturday, Jan. 19, 2019, at approximately 4:30 a.m. numerous rounds were allegedly fired outside an establishment in the area of 124 Avenue and 142 Street, striking at least one vehicle in the parking lot. Multiple suspects were reportedly witnessed fleeing the scene in a Hyundai Elantra.
Upon further investigation, officers determined that the male driver of the Hyundai Elantra was approached by the male suspects involved in the altercation and was allegedly ordered at gunpoint to drive them to a different location. The male driver complied and suffered non-life-threatening injuries in relation to this incident, but did not require treatment from EMS. Investigators do not believe the driver was known to the suspects.
Investigators believe both incidents to be connected.

Ahmed Osman, 30, was also charged with robbery with a firearm, kidnapping with a firearm and breach of recognizance (x2).
With the assistance of the Moose Jaw Police Service, the two male suspects were taken into custody in Saskatchewan yesterday (Jan. 28, 2019). Osman is charged in relation to the incident on Jan. 19, 2019, while Hirsi is charged in relation to both incidents.
