A 23-year old man has been arrested on a first-degree murder charge in Fort McMurray, Alberta in connection with a homicide in Brampton last year, Peel police say.

RCMP officers assisted with the arrest Wednesday, according to a Peel police news release.

Sangita Sharma, 56, was found in her Brampton home on Aug. 13, 2020, with a gunshot wound. She died shortly after in hospital.

This is the second arrest in the past month related to the case. Police took a 19-year old man from London. Ont. into custody on June 4. He appeared in court on a first-degree murder charge the following day.

Const. Himmet Gill says police are still looking for additional suspects and that no motive has been confirmed.
