Police are working to find out if a gun recovered at a Centretown home is the murder weapon.

A 53-year-old man is facing a weapon-related charge as police in Gatineau and Ottawa continue to investigate a shooting death on Laval Street.

Officers from both police forces searched a home at 519 Gilmour Street in Centretown, Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.

Sean William Newell was arrested at the address and police seized a firearm.

Police say they will be analyzing the weapon to see if it is related to the July 23 homicide.

Newell was taken to the Gatineau Police Station to be interviewed by the investigators.

He will appear before the Quebec Court Wednesday on charges related to the illegal possession of a firearm.

The Ottawa Police Service may later file charges against Newell for other offenses.

The investigation into the homicide of Jeffrey Claude Godin continues.

Anyone with information regarding the shooting is invited to contact the SPVG Info Line at 819-243-INFO (4636), option 5.
