A B.C. man is facing a manslaughter charge, police say, following a year-long investigation into a shooting death.
On Friday, Grand Forks RCMP said local resident Sean Tiessen has been charged in the death of a 33-year-old man during the early hours of April 16, 2023.
According to police, officers were called to a rural residence following a report of a man being shot inside a home along Granby Road.
Emergency crews tried to save the man’s life, but he died at the scene.
Police said a 43-year-old man was taken into custody but was later released. They added that both parties knew each other.
