According to the Edmonton Police Service, Alinoor Mohamed Musa has been identified as being involved in both the August 2021 shooting at the Duggan Community Center and another shooting at a salon near 124th Street and 118th Avenue.
Hamza Mohammed, 22, was killed in the shooting in Duggan and six other people were injured in the early hours of August 29.
And on March 12, around 2:45 a.m., police responded to the Ertale Lounge after reports of 60 to 70 gunshots and found two women and four men with various injuries. A fifth man was taken to hospital with injuries after the shooting.
One of those victims, 28-year-old Ebert George, died of multiple gunshot wounds, police said at the time.
In that shooting, two other men were charged with first-degree murder, six counts of using a firearm with intent to endanger life and other firearm-related offenses.
On Monday, police said officers located Moussa in a vehicle at a traffic accident on June 27 and arrested him and three other people.
Detectives from the firearms investigation unit searched Musa’s home and vehicle, where they found two loaded handguns, two prohibited extended magazines and “evidence” from the shooting in the living room.
One of the firearms had a defaced serial number and the other was loaded with an overcapacity magazine, EPS said.

Moussa now faces 20 charges, including attempted murder, three counts of aggravated assault, two counts of discharging a firearm with intent and other firearm-related offences.
Yahye Abdinasir Alibarre, 28, also faces seven weapons charges following the June 27 traffic stop.
In a statement on Monday, EPS clarified that neither Musa nor Alibar had firearms licenses.
