Brantford police have made a second arrest in connection with a homicide that took place more than a year and a half ago.
On New Year’s Day 2018, police say Jeffrey Ronald Maxner was shot in the area of St. Paul Avenue and Terrace Hill Street. He was taken to Brantford General Hospital with life-threatening injuries but was pronounced dead a short while later.
A month after the shooting, police arrested and charged Joel Scalzo, 28, of Brantford, with first-degree murder.
