A 16-year-old boy has been arrested in a Mississauga shooting that occurred on Tuesday afternoon.
At around 2 p.m., a 19-year-old man was found near an apartment building on Darcel Avenue with a gunshot wound to the torso and was taken to a Toronto trauma centre. He’s expected to recover.
The accused was found at his residence on Wednesday and arrested without incident, Peel police say.
