Man charged with murder in Fort Providence, N.W.T., arrested in B.C.
Krystian Cogswell, wanted since March, was found last week at a home in Kelowna, B.C.
Police in B.C. have arrested a man who was wanted on murder and assault charges, related to a shooting in Fort Providence, N.W.T., in March.
Krystian Cogswell was found last Thursday at a residence in Kelowna, B.C., after police executed an unrelated search warrant at the home.
He's been remanded into custody and will be taken to the N.W.T. to face charges of murder and aggravated assault.
One man was killed and two other people were seriously injured in the triple-shooting incident in Fort Providence on March 15. RCMP were called to a home in the community early that morning where they found the deceased man and two others needing medical care.
Police said at the time that the violence was linked to the local drug trade.
Within days of the incident, territorial RCMP said they had charged Cogswell, 22, of Surrey, B.C., with murder, attempted murder and two counts of aggravated assault. A Canada-wide warrant was issued for his arrest.
