A Lewiston shooting suspect who was considered potentially armed and dangerous by police has been taken into custody.

Police say they arrested Gerald Brandon Burnsworth on Saturday.

He was wanted in connection with a shooting earlier this month near 64 Oxford Street.

Burnsworth allegedly shot a 27-year-old man in the pelvis.

Police say the suspect and victim were involved in an altercation prior to the shooting.

Burnsworth was being held at the Androscoggin County Jail Sunday.

He faces a long list of charges, including illegal possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of methamphetamine and violating conditions of release.
