Another Mississauga, Ont., man is facing charges in connection with an investigation into a brazen fatal shooting at a Niagara Falls attraction in early April.

Niagara police say the 18-year-old was arrested early Wednesday but few details on his apprehension were revealed due to an ongoing investigation.

He’s facing six charges in all, including robbery and firearm-related offences, but none in connection with the death. He was charged as a young offender, as he was under 18 at the time of the incident.

One teen died at the scene and two others were sent to out-of-town hospitals following the shots fired incident near the Great Canadian Midway around midnight on April 8.
