RCMP identify 2 men accused in fatal shooting of Good Samaritan east of Calgary

Two suspects — one in custody, one wanted on warrants — have been identified by RCMP in the fatal shooting that took place last week east of Calgary in what police are now describing as a fatal carjacking of a man who was trying to act as a Good Samaritan. 

Just before noon last Tuesday, police were called to the rural intersection at Range Road 282 and Township Road 250, just north of Chestermere, for reports of a shooting.

Officers found Rocky View County employee Colin Hough, 45, fatally wounded and a FortisAlberta employee suffering a "superficial" wound. Police have not identified the injured man.

On Monday, investigators announced a major break in the case. 

Police arrested Arthur Wayne Penner, 35, in Edmonton on Sunday. He was charged with first-degree murder on Monday and is scheduled to appear in court later this week. 

Second-degree murder warrants were issued for Elijah Blake Strawberry, 28. 

Strawberry is the same man who appeared in a Cochrane doorbell camera image released by RCMP last week as a "person of interest."

Strawberry is six feet one inch, weighing about 170 pounds and is described as having a light complexion and several arm and face tattoos.

At a press conference in Strathmore — about 50 kilometres east of Calgary — Monday night, RCMP offered new details about the investigation and the circumstances surrounding the shootings. 

According to police, the two suspects were driving around Calgary in a stolen vehicle.
