The Crown will be downgrading the murder charge for one of two men arrested after a deadly roadside shooting near Calgary in August.
Thirty-five-year-old Arthur Wayne Penner was originally charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder.
But the prosecution has indicated in court Penner will now be facing trial on second-degree murder instead.
The second suspect, 28-year-old Elijah Blake Strawberry, was arrested at a residence in O’Chiese First Nation last month and charged with second-degree murder and attempted murder.
