Mounties secured the area and arrested the two suspects, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said in a Tuesday afternoon release.

Police have not identified the victim.

“As the parties were all known to one another, investigators do not believe there is any ongoing risk to public safety,” says Corporal Esther Tupper of IHIT.

IHIT has taken over the investigation and is looking to speak with any witnesses or anyone with dashcam video in the area between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
