Beyond the Piper Arms: Duo Accused in Mass Shooting Suspected in Dozen More Gangland Attacks

In a chilling expansion of an already grave investigation, two individuals initially implicated in the devastating Piper Arms mass shooting are now facing accusations for an alarming dozen additional targeted shootings that terrorized Brampton and Mississauga throughout May 2023. Tairon Andolph, 29, and Daniel Parchment, 32, find themselves at the center of a complex web of violence and organized crime, as Peel Regional Police unveil the full scope of their alleged criminal enterprise.

The original charges stemmed from a horrific incident at the Piper Arms Pub in April 2023, where a mass shooting sent shockwaves through the community.

Yet, according to investigators, this was merely a glimpse into a far wider campaign of violence. Between May 1 and May 20, 2023, the region experienced a chilling spree of 12 separate shooting incidents, each meticulously targeted, leaving residents on edge and demanding answers.

These additional attacks were not random acts of aggression.

Police assert they were calculated acts of intimidation and violence, meticulously aimed at rival factions within a sophisticated drug-trafficking network that Andolph and Parchment allegedly operated. Homes, businesses, and vehicles became unwitting targets, bearing the scars of gunfire in what authorities describe as a brutal turf war.

While many of these May shootings resulted primarily in property damage, one incident left an individual with serious injuries, underscoring the lethal intent behind these actions.

Detective-Sergeant Clint Ramdhanie of the Peel Regional Police Homicide and Missing Persons Bureau highlighted the brazen nature of these attacks, emphasizing that they were directly linked to disputes over drug territories and financial interests.

The painstaking investigation, a testament to the dedication of law enforcement, involved collaboration across multiple units, including the Guns and Gangs Task Force.

This extensive probe culminated in the seizure of a significant arsenal: multiple firearms, a substantial amount of ammunition, and a considerable quantity of illicit drugs. These seizures not only disrupted a dangerous criminal operation but also removed deadly weapons from the streets.

As a result of this expanded investigation, Andolph and Parchment now face a litany of new, grave charges.

These include multiple counts of attempted murder, discharge of a firearm with intent, and various offenses related to the possession of prohibited weapons and drug trafficking. Their alleged actions represent a profound threat to public safety, transforming quiet neighborhoods into battlegrounds.

Peel Regional Police Chief Nishan Duraiappah reiterated the force's unwavering commitment to combating gun violence and dismantling organized crime networks.

He stressed the profound impact such criminal activity has on the well-being and sense of security within communities. The ongoing legal proceedings against Andolph and Parchment aim not only to bring justice for the victims but also to send a clear message that such rampant violence will not be tolerated in Peel Region.
