A Toronto man wanted for first-degree murder has been arrested in England.

Adrian Gordon Jr, 24, was wanted in connection with the death of 30-year-old Jesse Tubbs of Mississauga in May.

Tubbs was found suffering from gunshot wounds in the area of Isabella and Sherbourne Streets just before 12:30 a.m. on May 22.

He was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries and died days later.

A Canada-wide warrant was then issued for Gordon on the charge of first-degree murder. Gordon was located and arrested in Luton, England, just north of London, on August 19.

He is being held by authorities in the United Kingdom, pending his extradition back to Canada to face the charge.
