A 36-year-old Brandon man wanted in connection to a shooting in western Manitoba is now in police custody.

Police had been on the hunt for the suspect since last week after a 45-year-old man was checked in to Brandon Hospital with gunshot injuries.

The victim had been shot outside of Cornwallis, and then the 36-year-old man drove the victim to the hospital and dropped him off.

The victim remains in hospital in stable condition.

Michael Peters turned himself in to police on Wednesday and has since been charged with Unauthorized Possession of a Firearm, Careless Use of a Firearm, and Discharge Firearm with Intent.
