He was treated by paramedics but died at the scene.
Police were told at the time Mr Buxton had been confronted by two men in his driveway and shot a number of times before fleeing.
It is believed the shooters were picked up a short distance away by a vehicle.
A CCTV review showed three vehicles travelling together in the area at the time of the shooting.
In September 2016, police conducting a separate investigation seized a firearm at a home on Lime Street in Cabramatta, in Sydney's south-west.
A ballistic analysis linked the gun to Mr Buxton's murder.
Following the announcement of the million-dollar reward in April this year, detectives arrested a 30-year-old man at a jail on the NSW Mid North Coast today.
He was charged with murder and knowingly directing the activities of a criminal group.
He is set to appear in court later today.
The investigation is continuing.
Anybody with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
