May 3, 2022 | 11:12 AM

Sentencing is due to take place next month for a man charged in a homicide on the O’Chiese First Nation over two and a half years ago.

Lyle Jamie Bearspaw, 29, is scheduled to be sentenced in Red Deer Court of Queen’s Bench on June 2, 2022.

Bearspaw is charged in relation to a fatal shooting on the O’Chiese First Nation in 2020.

It was just after 8 p.m. on Aug. 27, 2020 when Rocky Mountain House RCMP received a 911 call about a firearms incident that had injured a male.

The victim, 23-year-old Troy Beaverbones, from O’Chiese was airlifted by STARS, but later died in hospital.
