Fatal shooting on Samson Cree Nation ruled homicide
The death of a person on Samson Cree Nation has been ruled a homicide. Maskwacis RCMP say a shooting at a home on the nation was reported around 5:23 a.m. on Sunday. When officers arrived, they found the body of 20-year-old Travis Jason Crier, who police say also went by Raven. Samson Cree Nation, located south of Edmonton, is one of the Four Nations of Maskwacîs. 'This is another tragic and senseless loss of a Four Nations community member. There is a direct relationship between this death and illegal firearms in Maskwacis. The community is saying it, we are saying it, and our leaders are saying it: Enough is enough,' Insp. Richard McKay, detachment commander of Maskwacis RCMP, said in a statement.

Person still at large following police shooting and fire in April: Alberta RCMP
An RCMP cruiser is pictured with the logo painted on the side. (Source: Facebook) Alberta RCMP have been cleared in a shooting that ended up in a house fire in Maskwacis last month. On April 24, Mounties were asked by the Edmonton Police Service to arrest several people in a stolen vehicle who went into a home on Montana First Nation. Two people came out of the house and were arrested without incident. A third person, who RCMP believed was in the home and had a gun, did not. When additional officers arrived to help with the arrest, RCMP said a 'confrontation' took place and at least one officer fired their gun. RCMP said the house caught on fire shortly afterwards. No one was seen exiting and no one was found inside after the fire was contained. The officer-involved shooting was investigated by the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) and it was concluded that no civilian was harmed. ASIRT has finished its investigation and RCMP are reviewing the matter internally. Mounties are continuing their search for the person who was previously believed to be inside the home at the time of the shooting. With files from Karyn Mulcahy
