The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has been called in and is now releasing details about the suspect who is considered “armed and dangerous.”
“IHIT is releasing the name of the suspect as 50-years-old Eric John Shestalo, as he is still at large and considered armed and dangerous. IHIT is urging the public to use caution and not approach Shestalo and to contact 911 immediately,” reads a release.
Shestalo is 5’9”, 176 pounds and was last seen wearing black pants, black jacket and a black hat with orange rim.
He was last seen driving a red 1990 Jeep YJ, which appears to have a yellow painted front end and may be bearing BC licence plate MT9 81W.
It is believed Shestalo was known to the victims and the shooting was targeted.
