A fatal Conklin shooting last Tuesday is still under investigation by the RCMP, and many of the details are still being kept private right now. The shooting ended with a 19 year old man dead, and police without a lot to go on. The victim was from Northern Alberta, and the body was discovered when police responded to shots being fired at around 2 am. The responding officers discovered the victim who was dead at the scene. The RCMP has stated that they do not believe the shooting was a random act of violence, but no suspect has been named and few details have been released to the public so far. The victim’s next of kin were notified and an autopsy was performed but the police do not have the autopsy results yet.

The fatal Conklin shooting is just one more shooting, and in recent months there have been several. The RCMP is asking that anyone who has any information come forward and tell the police what they know. Community effort is needed in order to stop the shootings and violence, people need to speak up and tell the truth or provide any information that they know. Fort MacMurray is a family oriented community and the recent shootings affect everyone. Anyone who has information about the Conklin shooting, or any of the other recent incidents, can contact Crime Stoppers of Norther Alberta by calling 1-800-222-8477. The RCMP can also be contacted as well. We all deserve a safe community, and the victim deserves justice.
