Second murder arrest in Rosedale laneway shooting

A homicide investigation has yielded a second arrest for first-degree murder, about two months after a shooting in a north Rosedale laneway left a man dead and a woman seriously injured.

Police say their homicide investigation led to the latest arrest yesterday, a week after the first arrest and more than two months after the shooting.

Officers were called to a laneway running beside and behind houses on Mathersfield Drive at about 8 p.m. on Jan. 29 and found a wounded man and woman. The man was pronounced dead on the scene, while the woman was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said.
