Windsor police have arrested a second suspect in connection with a shooting on the west side of the city.
Ilyas Gilao, 19, of Brampton was arrested Sunday evening at Windsor police headquarters. Officers had begun a search for him on Friday.
Constable Talya Natyshak said Gilao is facing a total of eleven charges, including attempted murder, using a firearm to commit an indictable offence, possession of a loaded gun without authorization, failure to comply with a release order, and breach of probation.
Officers responded to a home on Askin Avenue near Pelletier Street at around 12:30 a.m. on February 15 and found a gunshot victim. He was treated in hospital for serious, but non-life threatening injuries.
A previous suspect was subdued on Thursday by a K-9 unit in the area of Bruce Avenue and Park Street West. Jeffery Kumi is also facing a multitude of charges, including attempted murder.
These charges have not been proven in court.
