Albert Hyseni, 22, of Hamilton was shot in the arm and was treated in the hospital at the time.

The service said officers believe the incident was a drug deal that turned into a shootout.

On Wednesday, police announced Hyseni was wanted for manslaughter, before arresting him hours later.

Police said he’s still in custody following his bail hearing this morning.

Earlier this month police arrested 36-year-old Brampton man Donte Smith and also charged him with manslaughter.
