Nanaimo RCMP say a suspect arrested in connection with a shooting incident on New Years Day will make a court appearance on Friday, August 16.
Investigators say 47-year-old Jeffery Benvin was arrested without incident.
A 43-year old man suffered life-threatening injuries after he was physically assaulted and shot at a south end business on January 1.
The victim has since been released from hospital and continues to recover.
