Third man charged in Sandstone killings
A Canada-wide arrest warrant has been issued for a third suspect in connection with a shooting that killed two men at the end of August.
For more than two weeks, Calgary police have been searching for a third suspect in the fatal shooting of Mohamed Khalid Shaikh and Abas Ahmed Ibrahim on Aug. 28 in the northwest community of Sandstone.
The search for Jordan Jay Ward, 20, continues, but on Thursday police charged him with two counts of manslaughter in relation to the killings and a Canada-wide arrest warrant for him has been issued.
Two other suspects have already been arrested and charged in relation to the killings and injury of a third victim.
Photos of the suspect vehicles and three suspects believed to be involved in the shooting were released by police the day after the shooting. Two days later, on Aug. 31, police said the vehicle was located and Dennis Wong, 20, of Calgary was charged with two counts of accessory after the fact to murder and one count of party to the offence of an attempted murder.
On Sept. 6, police arrested and charged Gerald David Benn, 23, of Calgary, with two counts of second-degree murder and one count of attempted murder.
