On Jan. 14, RCMP were called to a home in the 1000-block of Collins Road in Cache Creek for a report of a shooting.

Brock Ledoux was found dead in the home.

Harkness was charged in connection with his killing.

Police conducted a curfew check at Harkness’ home on Feb. 18, where he was released to live under strict conditions, but he wasn’t there.
