The incident occurred in the area of Queen Street East and Rutherford Road, where a male victim was found with serious but non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. After a lengthy investigation, Johnson was apprehended on September 22, 2026, in Cross Lake, Manitoba, and has been brought back to Peel Region.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-lg leading-relaxed text-neutral-700\">During the course of the investigation, authorities executed search warrants on May 8, 2023, which led to the recovery of five firearms, 10 kg of methamphetamine, and a substantial amount of fentanyl and cocaine. Johnson now faces multiple charges, including attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and several firearms and drug trafficking offenses. This case highlights the complex nature of criminal investigations and the legal processes involved in bringing suspects to justice. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ullaw.ca\/connect\" class=\"text-amber-600 hover:text-amber-700 underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UL Lawyers Legal Team<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"type-eyebrow text-gold mb-3\">Call or email a lawyer now<\/p>\n<p>Dealing with something similar?
