Life sentence for man convicted in central Alberta homicide
A man convicted in a fatal fight on the Sunchild First Nation three years ago has been sentenced to life in prison with no eligibility of parole for 17 years.
Evan Ernest Foureyes, 32, was sentenced in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench on Jan. 14, after a jury previously found him guilty of second-degree murder, and kidnapping with a firearm, following a 14-day trial in Red Deer in October. He was also given a four-year concurrent sentence for his kidnapping with a firearm conviction.
The jury found Foureyes not guilty, however, on one charge of assault with a weapon following his trial last fall.
Foureyes was convicted on counts relating to a series of incidents on Nov. 9, 2018 that claimed the life of 23-year-old Arley Creed Lagrelle, a young father of one who died from a single stab wound to the heart during the altercation.
