London police announced Monday that a man has been arrested following a late June shooting in Old East Village that left another man in critical condition.

Police initially reported that a man was injured in an incident, which happened at around 11:20 p.m. on June 21 on Dundas Street near English Street.

At the time, police said it was believed the shooting happened on the street itself and that it was not a “random incident.”

Information about the victim’s age and identity was never released.

Roughly six weeks later, on Aug. 2, investigators launched a manhunt for Jacob Patrick Sturgeon, 22, of London.
