One man is facing a second-degree murder charge in connection with a death in Valleyview this week.
Mounties found Dolan Badger, 38, laying in the street near 3802 Highway St. late Thursday evening. He was declared dead on scene, and police at the time said his injuries were “suspicious.”
Valleyview RCMP called Badger’s death a murder in an updated release Saturday and announced they had arrested Jayden Houle, a 27-year-old Valleyview resident.
Houle was brought before a justice of the peace and remains in custody before another court date in Grande Prairie on Monday.
Alberta RCMP’s major crimes unit is now hoping to speak with the driver of a semi-truck who was passing the area around the time police say a fight occurred. Mounties are looking for potential dashcam footage from this truck and have released a photo in an attempt to find its driver.
Police ask the driver or anyone with information to call Valleyview RCMP at 780-524-3345 or make an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers online.
