RCMP have laid charges in connection with the shooting death of a 52-year-old Edson man, a press release said Thursday.
63-year-old Gary Allen Cozicar, also of Edson, has been charged with one count of first degree murder in the death of Ryan Karl Kuiper.
At 1:15 am on Wednesday, RCMP arrived at an Edson home where a man had allegedly been shot with a long-baralled firearm.
Investigators who arrived at the home stated there was a group of several people in the house when a confrontation allegedly broke out between Cozicar and Kuiper.
Following the argument, Cozicar then allegedly shot Kuiper in the chest.
RCMP arrested Kuiper and seized several firearms from the home.
RCMP believe alcohol to be a factor in the incident.
