London police say charges have been laid in connection to a shooting incident on April 22 that left a man with serious injuries.

Police are also providing new details about the incident itself.

The investigation began after a man, 20, arrived in hospital with what appeared to be a gunshot wound just after 11 p.m. April 22.

At the time, police said he was listed in serious but non-life-threatening condition and that no suspect description was available.

On May 3, police reported that investigators have determined that the victim was shot inside an apartment building on Dundas Street, east of Adelaide Street, and that “this was not a random incident.”
