A 37-year-old Penticton man has been charged with manslaughter in connection with a daylight shooting death of another Penticton man.
Sylvain Demers was charged and arrested on Friday after a year-and-half long investigation into the death of Randal Toews.
It was April 26, 2017 when police responded to a shooting at an apartment building in the 900-block of Creston Avenue.
The shooting claimed the life of Randal Toews.
