One of the suspects charged after Wednesday's massive raids targeting the Driftwood Crips is the sister of Jordan Manners, the 15-year-old who was murdered at C.W. Jeffreys school last month.
Necole Small, who appeared in court Thursday, faces one charge for possession of a prohibited firearm with ammunition.
The 25-year old is one of the 95 suspects that will spend the weekend in jail -- none were granted bail Thursday.
Defence lawyers said the legal rights of the accused were being denied. Some said they weren't even told what their clients were charged with.
"It violates the spirit of everything our judicial system stands for," said John Christie, a defence lawyer.
The accused made appearances at the Finch Avenue courts Thursday after being arrested in the city's most recent crackdown on guns and gangs.
Tempers flared as people tried to pack the overflowing courtroom in the morning. Extra police officers were brought in to calm the situation.
More than 200 people, including lawyers, police and family members tried to squeeze into the room that was meant to seat about 40, CTV's Chris Eby reported.
Those left outside were upset, and said some of the arrested weren't involved in the Driftwood Crips, the gang the raid targeted, that operates in the Jane and Finch Streets area in North York.
"They do target black people because we live in the ghetto -- we live at Jane and Finch. Come on," said one woman.
Toronto police arrested the suspects on Wednesday and laid more than 700 criminal charges after executing 88 search warrants in a massive raid in the Jane and Finch Streets area.
Staff Insp. Joe Tomei said police are still searching for another nine alleged members of the gang.
Of those arrested, 69 are men, 21 are women and five are teenagers.
Tomei said the latest gang sweep netted more than $1 million of illegal drugs, including 30 kilograms of cocaine, 20 kilograms of marijuana and nine kilograms of hash oil. Hundreds of thousands of dollars was also seized.
