A city-wide manhunt for the suspected killer of a young woman at Stadium LRT station has ended with an arrest.
Police pulled out all the stops after Heather Rae Thurier, 23, was gunned down Friday night. The 19-year old suspect was arrested in north Edmonton and was taken to EPS headquarters for questioning Monday night.
As 630 CHED exclusively reported, the shooter flashed gang gestures before he confronted Thurier at Stadium LRT station. He pulled a sawed-off shotgun, pointed it at her and then for whatever reason began to walk away. The woman yelled something and the man turned around, walked back to her and shot her in the head at near point blank range. Thurier and the man who killed her appeared to be known to each other.
Homicide detectives will say more about the man's arrest and charges Tuesday.(em)
