In a Thursday update, police said Joshua Lawrence Desjarlais, 32, was arrested on Jan. 31 on Elizabeth Métis Settlement, where he lives.
Laine Solway-Martial, 23, is still wanted in connection to the Jan. 26 carjacking.
Around 5 a.m. that day, two people offered a male pedestrian a ride. When they dropped him off at a nearby home, two males approached the car with firearms and demanded the victims get out. The hitch hiker also revealed a firearm.
"When the victims refused a suspect fired a shot into the air at which point the victims got out of the car," Mounties say.
"After a violent interaction the suspects fled the scene in a pickup truck and did not take the victim’s vehicle."
A minor was arrested a short while later.
