Hamilton police have arrested a man and charged him with first-degree murder in the shooting death of 21-year-old international student Harsimrat Randhawa.

Jerdaine Foster, 32, was arrested in Niagara Falls, Ont., on Tuesday, said acting Det.-Sgt. Daryl Reid at a news conference Thursday.

He was also charged with three counts of attempted murder, Reid said.

Randhawa, from India, died in hospital of a gunshot wound after she was hit by a stray bullet while standing at a bus stop at the intersection of Upper James Street and South Bend Road on April 17.

"Harsimrat was an innocent bystander," Reid said. "She was simply trying to make her way home from a local gym when she was struck and killed."
