Two suspects have now been charged after a man died from a gunshot wound over the weekend in Lacombe.

It was at about 2:10 a.m. on Sunday when Lacombe Police Service members responded to the Lacombe Hospital after a 20-year-old male had been admitted with a gunshot wound.

The male, who police have identified as Jeffrey Kraft from Ponoka, died from his injuries. An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday in Calgary.

Further investigation into the incident determined the victim had met with a female and male acquaintance earlier and while driving in the area of north east Lacombe.

A confrontation occurred during which police say a firearm was presented by the male suspect. The firearm was discharged, causing the injuries to the victim, who was then driven to the hospital and dropped off. The female and male suspects then fled.
