A second person has been arrested and charged in a fatal shooting from last year in Brampton that police say involved a victim who was not the intended target.
Peel Regional Police say that on April 5, 2024, the victim — Jevon Harris-Smith — was shot multiple times while out in front of his residence in the area of Finegan Circle and Sudeley Lane, near Mississauga Road and Wanless Drive.
Two suspects escaped in a stolen red vehicle. The victim later died from his injuries, and the investigation revealed he was not the intended target.
