Manitoba RCMP have located and arrested a man charged with second-degree murder in connection with a shooting in an isolated rural area Monday morning.
Police from the Gillam detachment were called to the scene, 75 kilometres east of Split Lake, just before noon, where they found the body of a 53-year-old man from Tataskweyak Cree Nation.
Although the suspect had fled the scene before officers arrived, police said the investigation revealed that the victim and suspect knew each other.
Jamie Flett, 38, also of Tataskweyak Cree Nation, was the subject of an arrest warrant, but RCMP say they were able to find Flett on Wednesday night.
