2nd suspect in Alberta highway shooting arrested on homicide charge: RCMP

Thirty-eight days after a shocking highway shooting near Calgary that left one person dead and another injured, RCMP have brought a major manhunt to a conclusion.

“Today, just after 1 p.m., members of the Alberta major crimes unit successfully and safely arrested 28-year-old Elijah Blake Strawberry at a residence in O’Chiese First Nation,” Alberta RCMP Chief Supt. Roberta McKale told reporters at a news conference in Edmonton late Friday.

The arrest brings an end to an investigation involving police in several Alberta communities that began Aug. 6 when Colin Hough, a Rocky View County employee, was shot and killed north of Chestermere, a commuter town east of Calgary. A FortisAlberta employee was also shot and suffered what officials described as “superficial” injuries.

THIS is why we need capital punishment

[Jimmynorth]

Are those that hid him being charged? Answer. Of course not

[Elwedow]

Why couldn’t they show a photo of of the suspects sooner ??

[glennwillett-ybpg]

This is heartbreaking. Condolences to the family.

[jabom]

And our justice system will advocate for the criminals and not the victims.

[rhonda]

Very dangerous. Life in prison! RiP Colin Huff

They’ll get a Healing Lodge getaway, free uni degree, some TV interviews and a cushy government job where they only show up one day a month because anymore would be a colonial construct

[orobleh]

Good news. But, this criminal will be out from jail in 10 years

[williamgrand]

Of course he looks like a Saints Row customizable character...

[jimcook]

Wonder if the suspect had any scars or identifying marks?

[jordancarlin]

The investigation costed 1 million? I’m pretty sure my municipality spends that in a week negotiating w drug addicts and shuffling them down the block

[alhubele]

Why would the cost of the investigation cost 1 million dollars? Don't the police get paid everyday regardless of what they are working on, it is not like they were all hired just to do this one investigation.

[JasonFuller-ecwv]

Are you surprised why they didn't give the descriptions of them after all LO?L caught on the rez that we all paid for

[chuckyc]

Unfortunately. The time will be way too short in jail.

[mattaistyberg]

They are Aboriginal they will only do 4 years in jail for this

[johntitorii]

Intresting how they show the side profile to make him look more whyte, even tho it's an indengenious, sly dawg media always trying to to deceive the norms.

[ge]

I was always taught growing up that you should never judge somebody by how they look. Only today would that thought be shown to be false. We're all just savages.

[Jen-rose]

Sending love and support to everyone involved. R.I.P. 😢 from Florida.

[audreyjeffrey]

Bless the family that lost their loved one. I hope both these suspects are charged and put into a penitentiary for life
