RCMP issued a warning about Potts earlier this week, asking anyone with information about him to contact them.
Monkman had already been arrested on robbery charges.
Officers believe the trio attempted to steal a car at gunpoint from a woman and her six-year-old son as they left a graduation ceremony. RCMP said the woman was able to alert security personnel at the grad and police were called.

Potts has since been charged with second-degree murder, attempted robbery using a firearm, using a firearm while committing an indictable offence, careless use of a firearm, pointing a firearm, and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.
He is set to appear in Stony Plain Provincial Court on July 13.
Onoway is located about 65 kilometres northwest of Edmonton.
