A manhunt for an alleged bikie associate has come to an end just hours after police appealed for the public's help but urged them to 'stay away'.
Joshua Colin Duperouzel, 25, was wanted by police to help them in their inquiries over the death of Joseph Versace at Gnangara, Perth, on Thursday.
Versace, 34, was allegedly shot in the stomach and the chest in a brazen daylight execution with paramedics unable to save his life.
Police released a photo of Duperouzel four days later and urged anyone with information to come forward before revealing he had been arrested on Monday.
'Mr Duperouzel may have access to a firearm and should not be approached by members of the public,' WA Police said in a statement.
Duperouzel was arrested less than half an hour away from Gnangara, in the Perth suburb of Belmont.
