RCMP executed a search warrant on a West 琉璃神社 residence Tuesday, Sept. 29, in connection to a southeast 琉璃神社 homicide investigation.
A man at the home in McDougall Estates RV Park said police attended his residence, seizing several firearms, some of which he claimed hadn鈥檛 been fired in the past two years.
The man called the search 鈥渋llegal鈥� saying the investigation likely found its way to his home by way of his son.
鈥淏ecause (the murder) happened two blocks from my son鈥檚 house,鈥� he said outside his home.
The man had signs with pro-gun rhetoric posted on his truck and home. They read, 鈥淚f they take my gun it鈥檒l be hot and empty,鈥� and 鈥淪hoot first, ask questions later.鈥�
Police confirmed the search warrant was executed in relation to the late-August killing of Cory Allan Patterson.
On Aug. 30, an injured man arrived at 琉璃神社 General Hospital with Patterson鈥檚 body in his vehicle following a reported shooting in southeast 琉璃神社. The driver was treated for non-life-threatening injuries sustained from a gunshot wound.
The RCMP鈥檚 initial investigation determined that the incident had happened while the two men were driving in the McCulloch Road area of 琉璃神社. Investigators believe the shooter fled the area in a light-coloured vehicle.
