OTTAWA – A 25-year-old man wanted in an alleged gang shooting in New Jersey has been arrested in Ottawa.
The Canada Border Services Agency says Manuel Falcon-Lopez was initially stopped by police on Aug. 16 for a routine traffic stop, but it was then discovered he was in Canada illegally.
The agency says he is in custody after being deemed a flight risk and a danger to the public.
Falcon-Lopez _ a suspected gang member _ is wanted south of the border on an attempted murder charge.
The CBSA says he has previously been convicted of weapons and assault offences in the U.S.
It says a hearing scheduled for Monday will look into whether he could be deported.
