A London man is facing seven charges in relation to a south London hotel shooting that left a 55-year-old man injured, police said Wednesday.
The investigation began on the morning of June 17 when police say a 55-year-old man turned up at a city hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
Police say they later determined a shooting had taken place about a half-hour prior to the man turning up to the hospital.

The accused is set to appear in court on Wednesday. A firearm has not been recovered, police added.
The 55-year-old victim in the case has since been released from hospital.
