Sinn Féin MLA Jennifer McCann condemned the attacks on the shop and bar linked to Mr Koca.
"Attacking the business where the man accused of murdering Eamonn Magee worked will not bring him justice, but only causes further hardship for the local community," she said.
"I visited the barber shop owners this morning who are shocked and dismayed at the attack and I am sure the local community will rally behind this business to ensure that it continues to provide a service."
"If people want to see justice for Eamonn Magee they should cooperate with the PSNI inquiry so that whoever murdered him is brought to justice."
