A fourth person has been arrested and charged with second degree murder in connection to a Prince Albert homicide case.

A 31-year-old man from Prince Albert was arrested in the early hours of Thursday morning at a home in the 1700 block of 15th Street West and charged with the second degree murder of Byron Bear.

Police believe Bear’s death may be related to a report of gunfire December 6, 2021 around 4 a.m. in the 300 block of 9th Street East. Police say they found evidence of a serious assault but no victim.

Bear was found dead last month, on February 10th, in a rural area near Hague.

A 30-year-old man arrested in Canmore, Alberta as well as Raine Farrow, 23-years-old, and 37-year-old Kyle Burns, were previously charged with second-degree murder in his death.
