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.
