An Edmonton man has been arrested in Manitoba in connection to a shooting in Yellowknife, while the victim remains in hospital more than two weeks after the incident, RCMP said Saturday.
Keiron Alexander Shiferaw-Reid, 21, is charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault and careless use of a firearm, following a shooting on Nov. 11.
RCMP did not specify when Shiferaw-Reid was arrested, but said he was taken into custody in Winnipeg, Man., with help from the Winnipeg Police Service and Manitoba RCMP's major crime unit.
A court date has not yet been set, police say.
On Nov. 11, police responded to the area of 51A Avenue in Yellowknife and found a man with multiple gunshot wounds. The man was sent to hospital with life-threatening injuries and is still in hospital, police say.
RCMP first asked for the public's help finding a suspect on Nov. 13. Police said the suspect was considered "armed and dangerous," but did not know his name or age at the time.
Police later identified Shiferaw-Reid as the suspect Nov. 23.
Intelligence regarding foreign interference sometimes didn't make it to the prime minister's desk in 2021 because Canada's spy agency and the prime minister's national security adviser didn't always see eye to eye on the nature of the threat, according to a recent report from one of Canada's intelligence watchdogs.
