Dylan Steven Cameron, who was 20 years old at the time, was charged with manslaughter on March 21, 2015. He was one of four people originally charged in Walker’s death.

Alberta Justice said the charge against Cameron was stayed Dec. 6.

But just over two weeks later, the case is being reviewed to “determine if the stay should be lifted in order for the Crown to pursue the case,” Alberta Justice said in an email on Thursday. The department did not provide further context.

If the Crown wishes to pursue further, it would have one year to reinstate the original charge that was laid.

The 15-year-old boy was charged with second-degree murder in Walker’s death. Walker was 18 when his body was found partially burned near the Weaslehead Bridge on the Tsuu T’ina Nation on March 7, 2015.
