OLDS — A suspect who faces about 10 charges in relation to a shooting that injured an Olds man has now also been charged with the murder of a Calgary man and the attempted murder of another victim.
Lyle Robert Walter Vance, 27, was arrested by Calgary police on Monday, April 13 in relation to a shooting that occurred March 20 southeast of Olds.
Yesterday, Calgary police charged Vance with the murder of a Calgary man that occurred 10 days after the Mountain View County shooting.
At approximately 1 a.m., on Monday, March 30, 2020, Calgary Police Service was called to a residence in the 5700 block of 18 Ave. N.E. in the Pineridge neighbourhood of the city for multiple reports of gunshots. Aaron Elliot Castle, 39, of Calgary, died at the scene.
On May 26, Vance was charged with one count of second degree murder and one count of attempted murder as a second victim was also shot at the scene.
Olds RCMP say they believe Vance was the shooter in the incident that occurred March 20 southeast of Olds.
The shooting occurred near the junction of Twp. Rd 320 and Rge. Rd. 290 in Mountain View County east of Highway 2.
Police say a 47-year-old Olds man was shot in a dispute over money and belongings. He was air lifted by STARS air ambulance to hospital and has since been discharged.
Vance has been charged with the following offences in relation to the Mountain View County shooting:
• one count of unlawfully wounding, maiming, disfiguring or endangering a life
• two counts pointing a firearm
• two counts of discharging a firearm with intent
• one count of prohibited possession of a firearm
• one count of unlawful possession of a handgun
• one count of possession of a restricted and loaded firearm
• two counts of breach of probation
Vance was remanded in custody to speak to bail on April 20 in Didsbury provincial court.
Police have determined that three subjects, one female and two males, attended the county property in a gold-coloured SUV. That suspect vehicle was later located and seized from an area northeast of Wimborne, say police.
Less than a week after the shooting, Jessica Nicole McClintock, 33, was arrested north of Trochu.
She faces one count of unlawfully wounding, maiming, disfiguring or endangering a life and two counts of discharging a firearm with intent to endanger life. A judicial hearing was conducted for McClintock and she was released on $3,000 no-deposit bail to attend Didsbury provincial court on June 24.
Olds RCMP Staff Sgt. Jim MacDonald says police are still looking to identify and arrest one male suspect.
"Local investigators benefited greatly from the assistance of the Southern Alberta District Crime Reduction Unit and the Calgary Police Service," MacDonald wrote in an email.
"The cooperation and teamwork led to the relatively quick identification and arrests of two of the three suspects involved — including the actual shooter."
