A jury trial has been scheduled for one of two people charged in a Red Deer homicide earlier this year.

Lance Michael Bilsky, 46, of Red Deer, is scheduled for a jury trial in Red Deer Court of King’s Bench from Sept. 15-Oct. 3, 2025.

His co-accused, Corey Duane Archer, 47, also of Red Deer, sees his matter return to Red Deer Court of King’s Bench on Jan. 6, 2025.

RCMP say that on March 21, 2024, at 3:51 p.m., members received a report of a shooting that had allegedly occurred at an apartment building along Parke Avenue on Red Deer’s north end in the Pines neighbourhood.

When officers arrived, a suspect was observed running from the area, police say.
