RCMP have located and arrested a 38-year-old man who is charged with second-degree murder in a fatal shooting at an isolated camp in northern Manitoba.
A warrant was issued for Jamie Flett, who police believed was in the Split Lake or Gillam areas.
RCMP said officers were sent to the camp, about 75 kilometres east of Split Lake, at about noon Monday, after a 53-year-old man from Tataskweyak Cree Nation was shot. He was dead when officers and paramedics arrived.
The victim and the suspect, who is also from Tataskweyak, knew each other.
The RCMP thanks the public and the media for their assistance.
