The suspect in a triple-shooting in Chilliwack is on the run and considered armed and dangerous.
Eric John Shestalo, 50, has been identified as the alleged shooter by the RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT).
“Officers are working to locate Mr. Shestalo as well as any witnesses to this devastating incident.” said IHIT Sgt. Timothy Pierotti.
Around 11 a.m. Thursday morning (July 21), two women and one man were shot at a home in the 9700-block of McNaught Road. One of the woman died at the scene. The other woman was airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital where she later died. The man suffered non-life threatening injuries.
IHIT believes Shestalo was known to the victims and the shooting was targeted.
