Saskatoon police say they have arrested a suspect in a 2023 shooting at a Pickering, Ont., casino that left an employee dead.

First responders found Michael Ferdinand, a 34-year-old security guard, with fatal gunshot wounds at the casino early one morning in October 2023.

Durham Region police said at the time that a group of men and women showed up at the casino armed and fled immediately after the shooting.

Saskatoon police say they arrested a 20-year-old suspect last week, and he is charged with second-degree murder.

They worked with Durham Region police to make the arrest, and allegedly found a loaded handgun on him when he was taken into custody.

Officials say they will make arrangements to bring the suspect to Durham Region.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 21, 2026.
