One suspect has been charged in connection to the shooting which took place in Inuvik earlier this week, resulting in the death of one person.
Shortly before 7:00 am on Monday, police received reports of shots being fired in a residence in the community. Both the victim and suspects left the premises before officers arrived.
The victim was located shortly after at the Inuvik Regional Hospital, where they were declared deceased. Four suspects were later arrested by police.
Following their investigation, one of the suspects has been charged with two counts of discharging a firearm with intent and one count of murder. The other three suspects have been released without charge.
The suspect remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court next month.
Additional police resources, including the Northwest Territories RCMP Forensic Identification Services, have been deployed to the community to assist in ongoing evidence gathering.
