RED DEER, Alta. — A sentencing hearing is to begin today for a man who shot and killed a shopper outside a Walmart store in central Alberta.
Chase Freed, who is 20, pleaded guilty on Monday to the second-degree murder of Jim Williams in Red Deer in December 2019.
RCMP said at the time that a masked man armed with a sawed-off semi-automatic rifle shot Williams, who was 69, in front of his wife in the store’s parking lot during an attempted robbery.
Williams died in hospital.
