Second-degree murder charges laid in fatal Sunalta shooting
An arrest has been made in relation to the fatal shooting in Sunalta from last week.
According to a new release from the Calgary Police Service, 24-year-old Taylor Calfchild, who also goes by the name Taylor Hall, has been charged with second-degree murder.
Calfchild had been sought by the Calgary Police Service in an earlier release, as they believed he had information about the early morning shooting that resulted in the death of 28-year-old Jovaughan Meek on Thursday, April 9.
