But police have since identified another suspect and 29-year-old Ryan Joseph Roulette was arrested Sunday and also charged with second-degree murder and a number of weapons offences.

Police say Houle and Roulette both knew the victim and were both armed when they made their way to the Alexander Avenue home last month. Anderson was shot and killed, according to police, and the two accused fled the area.
