Investigators said they later identified the suspect as 22-year-old Carlos Rodriguez-Rodriguez, of Mississauga.
A Canada-wide warrant for his arrest was issued in May.
Investigators later determined that Rodriguez-Rodriguez left the country following the shooting.
On Nov. 9, he returned to Canada and turned himself into police.
Among other things, Rodriguez-Rodriguez has been charged with attempt murder, aggravated as adult, unauthorized possession of firearm, and carrying concealed weapon. The charges have not been tested in court.
The accused has been held in custody for a bail hearing.
This investigation is ongoing and anyone with further information is asked to contact the 12 Division Criminal Investigation Bureau at 905-453-2121, ext. 1233.
