RCMP in British Columbia say one man has been charged and another is wanted in relation to an attack on the Vancouver Island home of a popular Punjabi singer.
The attack, which was filmed from the perspective of one of the alleged attackers, happened at the Colwood, B.C., home of Amritpal Singh Dhillon, known professionally as AP Dhillon, on Sept. 2.
Police say the attackers shot at the home multiple times before torching two vehicles.
In a media release, West Shore RCMP said one of the suspects, 25-year-old Winnipeg man Abjeet Kingra, was arrested in Ontario on Wednesday.
He has been charged with discharging a firearm with intent and arson and was scheduled to appear in court on Thursday.
Police are still looking for the second suspect, 23-year-old Vikram Sharma, who they said was last known to live in Winnipeg, but is believed to now be in India.
