Three men, believed to be members of a street gang are facing charges of attempted murder in the shooting of a Schomberg man in February.
The trio are also charged with conspiracy to commit murder and weapons-related offences for the shooting that took place the morning of Feb. 12.
York Regional Police say the 65 year old victim was walking his dog when a car sped past, turned around and fired multiple shots.
The man was hit 13 times and left with serious injuries and a long road to recovery.
Investigators say the accused men are believed to be members of the Mara Salvatrucha street gang, commonly known as MS-13 and they were hired to kill a man, but they targeted the wrong person.
During a search, officers seized a handgun and an AK-47 assault rifle with ammunition and a drum magazine, along with an undisclosed amount of cocaine and fentanyl.
