A 33-year-old woman has been charged in the death of a man in a hamlet east of Calgary earlier this week.
Just after 5 p.m. Monday, RCMP were called to an assault in the area of Main Street and 4 Avenue in Gleichen, Alta. The hamlet is located about 70 kilometres east of Calgary.
EMS crews were also called to the scene where a man was pronounced dead, RCMP said in a media release Tuesday afternoon. The victim has been identified by RCMP as 53-year-old Danny Junior Eagle Child of Siksika Nation.
RCMP remained at the intersection on Tuesday. Video from the Global 1 news helicopter showed at least two RCMP vehicles and a number of officers at the scene, where part of a roadway was cordoned off with police tape.
On Wednesday, RCMP said Rebecca Ann Yvette Raweater, of Siksika Nation, has been charged with manslaughter.
