Albert Kaiswatum is charged with attempted murder for a drive-by shooting on the Piapot First Nation.
A 74-year-old man who was missing last week is now being charged with attempted murder.
Albert Clarence Kaiswatum is the suspect in a drive-by shooting that happened on Piapot First Nation on July 29. A 25-year-old man was shot at, while walking on the main road of the reserve. At the time, RCMP said he was in serious condition.
Kaiswatum disappeared shortly after. He was last seen at a Centennial Bingo in Regina's north end on August 1. Friends and family were concerned for Kaiswatum's wellbeing as he regularly takes prescription medication.
Police said the elderly man was found healthy and in good spirits at Northgate Mall over the weekend.
Police also said Kaiswatum was a possible suspect in the shooting before he went missing, but the search for him was unrelated to their investigation.
Kaiswatum makes his first court appearance Wednesday.
The Piapot First Nation is about 20 kilometres northeast of Regina.
