Investigators had been searching for Shestalo since officers were called to reports of a shooting at a home in the 9700 block of McNaught Avenue in Chilliwack on Wednesday morning.

Investigators tracked Shestalo’s vehicle, a red 1990 Jeep YJ, to Bridal Falls on Saturday, and were seen searching a forested area near the entrance of the Bridal Falls Provincial Park.
