A man from B.C. is being charged with manslaughter , the police say, after a year of investigating a shooting death.
On Friday, Grand Forks The RCMP stated that Sean Tiessen, who lives locally, has been charged in the death of a 33-year-old man in the early hours of April 16, 2023.
According to the police, officers were called to a rural residence following a report of a man being shot inside a home along Granby Road.
Emergency crews attempted to save the man’s life, but he died at the scene.
The police mentioned that a 43-year-old man was taken into custody but was later released, and confirmed that both individuals were acquainted.
Almost a year later, the police said Tiessen, now 44, has been charged, although he is out on bail and has a court appearance later this month.
The court has also issued a publication ban.
The RCMP stated, “As the matter is now before the courts, no further details may be shared,” and expressed gratitude to the community “for their patience while investigators thoroughly completed all aspects to bring this matter before the courts.”
