Calgary police have charged a second person in the shooting death of a man found along Memorial Drive late last month.

Jesse George-Raweater was shot just before 10 p.m. on March 27, in the 5200 block of Memorial Drive. The 30-year-old father was found on a street median and first responders tried to revive him, but he died at the scene.

Two days later, police charged 41-year-old John Tabler with second-degree murder in George-Raweater’s death.

Police said George-Raweater knew both Yuen and Tabler, and it’s believed he was shot as the result of a “personal dispute.”

“Our investigations do not stop once a suspect is charged,” Staff Sgt. Martin Schiavetta said.

“In each case, we continue to review the evidence and if it is believed anyone else was involved in the commission of the homicide, no matter how small their involvement is, we will lay additional charges.”
