EDMONTON – RCMP have charged 19-year-old Sean Steven Kovacs-Harkins with manslaughter in the death of Travis Colby, who worked as a doorman at Old Bar in Stony Plain.
Police say it’s believed that Kovacs-Harkins struck Colby in the head outside the bar at the Stony Plain Hotel early Sunday morning. Colby then fell to the ground; he was taken to hospital but did not regain consciousness.
Late Wednesday afternoon, Stony Plain RCMP confirmed that 30-year-old Travis John Colby had died.
An employee of Old Bar, who does not want to be named, tells Global News that Colby was on shift, and went outside briefly for a break. At that time, she says, there was a confrontation and when Colby approached the people involved, he was struck in the head.
She shares that he had a heart of gold, and was a great employee; never missing a shift. He worked at Old Bar for three years, she says.
Kovacs-Harkin has been released from custody on $3,000 cash bail, and is scheduled to appear in Stony Plain Provincial Court on October 9th.
RCMP say the matter remains under investigation.
