2 men suspected in Calgary murder arrested in B.C., another individual wanted | Globalnews.ca
Two men who were released from custody last December in connection with a murder in Calgary have been arrested in British Columbia, police say.
The men, both from Edmonton, have now been charged in the Dec. 10 shooting of a man in Odgen, Calgary police said Friday.
At around 12:30 a.m. that day, police were called for reports of gunshots in the 7000 block of 20 Street Southeast. Officers found the victim, outside his vehicle, deceased.
“With assistance from the Tsuut’ina Nation Police Service, three people were taken into custody. Two of the three people taken into custody were released and one 17-year-old was taken into custody on unrelated warrants,” police said.
Last Thursday, RCMP in Clearwater, B.C., responded to reports of a vehicle stuck in a ditch on Highway 5 near Blue River.
“Officers determined two of the occupants of the vehicle were connected to this fatal shooting. A third occupant of the vehicle was also arrested. He was later released after it was determined he was not connected to this investigation,” Calgary police said.
