Hamilton police announced a second arrest in the shooting death of Harsimrat Randhawa, a 21-year-old Mohawk College student who was killed in April while standing near a bus stop in broad daylight.

Authorities confirmed that 26-year-old Obiesea Okafor was arrested in North York on Thursday, Aug. 7, and charged with three counts of attempted murder. He was transported back to Hamilton and remains in custody.

This arrest follows the earlier apprehension of 32-year-old Jerdaine Foster, who was charged with first-degree murder and three counts of attempted murder.

Randhawa, described by friends and family as a bright and compassionate student, was struck by the gunfire as an innocent bystander.
