Edmonton Police Department arrested Isiaha Cermak, 24, and Darrious Ellis, 21, following two attacks in the early hours of October 9. The EPS says a team including Cermak and Ellis approached five men at a fast-food window on Avenue 80 and 103 Street around 3 a.m. and the 24-year-old dropped a gun “just a few feet away from where the club”. No one was injured, police said. Chermak, Ellis and a third person then allegedly attacked two members of the other group and fled in a vehicle, EPS said. The victims were taken to hospital with serious injuries. Police said the attack was unprovoked and that the groups did not know each other. About 20 minutes later, police say Chermak pulled another car in the area of 96th Street and 165th Avenue. He ordered a “significant amount of food”, refused to go ahead with the order and “broke” a firearm in front of the employee, EPS said. Cermak faces several gun charges, including five counts of throwing a firearm with intent, assault and aggravation. Ellis was charged with aggravated assault.
