Saskatoon police say they have arrested a suspect in a 2023 shooting at a Pickering, Ont., casino that left an employee dead.
First responders found Michael Ferdinand, a 34-year-old security guard, with fatal gunshot wounds at the casino early one morning in October 2023.
Durham Region police said at the time that a group of men and women showed up at the casino armed and fled immediately after the shooting.
Saskatoon police say they arrested a 20-year-old suspect last week, and he is charged with second-degree murder.
They worked with Durham Region police to make the arrest, and allegedly found a loaded handgun on him when he was taken into custody.
Officials say they will make arrangements to bring the suspect to Durham Region.
