Peel police have arrested a second suspect in connection with a double shooting in Malton in September that left a 21-year-old man dead.

On Sept. 17, around 8 p.m., police said two groups of men became involved in a disturbance on Hull Street, near Airport and Derry Roads.

Two men were shot during the altercation, police said. The victims were rushed to a trauma centre, where one of them, a 21-year-old Brampton man, died of his injuries.

The following day, police arrested 18-year-old Jastaran Sandhu of Mississauga and charged him with first-degree murder.
