Calgary police have charged a man with murder in the weekend shooting death of Jesse Shaye Troy George-Raweater after the suspect turned himself in on Monday.

Police said Monday it was believed George-Raweater was killed by someone he knew, but didn’t elaborate on the circumstances, nor did they have any potential suspect descriptions or persons of interest they were investigating.

However, later on Monday, police said 41-year-old John Tabler turned himself in to police headquarters and was subsequently charged with second-degree murder.

Investigators said it’s believed George-Raweater was shot because of a “personal dispute.”
