The final man wanted for charges related to a 2017 Surrey shooting that injured an innocent bystander has been arrested, Surrey RCMP confirm.

Police announced Thursday that Noah Didhra has been taken into custody, three days after a warrant was issued for his arrest.

Didhra was named by RCMP as an alleged associate of Abd’l Malik Loubissi-Morris, who was arrested in December for his alleged role in the July 9, 2017 shooting, in which a stray bullet hit a 62-year-old Ontario woman in the shoulder.
