  • Suspect arrested, second sought in deadly shooting east of Calgary

RCMP in Alberta say one of two suspects wanted in a deadly shooting east of Calgary last week has been arrested, but the search continues for the other.

With assistance from the Edmonton Police Service, Mounties announced Monday night they arrested a 35-year-old suspect in the Alberta capital on August 8.

Arthur Wayne Penner is charged with first-degree-murder in the death of Airdrie resident Colin John Hough, as well as attempted murder of another individual. 

RCMP are asking for the public's help in the search for a second suspect, 28-year-old Elijah Blake Strawberry. A warrant has been issued for his arrest on a charge of second-degree murder in Hough's death.

Strawberry is described as 6-foot-1, weighing 169 pounds with brown hair, a light complexion, and several arm and face tattoos, and police say he is considered armed and dangerous.

A manhunt began for the suspects on August 6 following the noon-hour shooting of two men who were doing work along a roadway in Rocky View County, and a county truck was stolen from the scene.
