TORONTO — A man who was wanted in connection with a 2022 shooting in Vaughan, Ont., that left two people dead and one injured has been arrested in the United States. 

York Regional Police say a 29-year-old man from Mississauga was taken into custody by U.S. marshals in Hartford, Conn. on Tuesday.

They say the accused was charged with two counts of first degree murder and one count of attempted murder. 

Police have been looking for him for two years since a deadly shooting at a lounge on Highway 7, on July 23, 2022.

Three victims were found with gunshot wounds that day.

Two of the victims -- a 25-year-old man and 22-year-old man -- died from their injuries and a 20-year-old woman was injured but she survived.
