RCMP were serving warrants in connection to the murder investigation of Lorenzo “Billy” Bearspaw, whose body was found by Mounties on Jan. 6.
At approximately 4 p.m., RCMP went to a home on the Stoney Nakoda First Nation to execute Canada-wide arrest warrants for 29-year-old John Stephens, 27-year-old Ralph Stephens and 22-year-old Deangelo Powderface, wanted for first-degree murder in the death of Bearspaw. While John Stephens was arrested without incident, Ralph Stephens engaged police and shots were fired. Ralph Stevens was taken to hospital, where he died from his injuries.
