A man from B.C and a woman from Ontario are being charged with first-degree murder stemming from an incident that occurred in the industrial area west of Sherwood Park last December.
Shane Terry Tym, 28, of Chilliwack, B.C., and Sarah Jane Posthumus, 29, of Tara, Ont., are being charged in the murder of Adrian Gregory, 30, of Ottawa, as well as the attempted murder of Jeremy Pershaw (whose age and hometown aren’t yet released).
At approximately 12:45 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 30 2014, the RCMP responded to a complaint of a vehicle fire in an industrial park off 34 Street in Strathcona County. Upon arrival at the scene, the body of Gregory was discovered inside a green Jeep that had been set on fire and left in the area.
A second person, identified by the RCMP on Monday as Pershaw, was also found in the Jeep and taken to hospital with undisclosed injuries.
RCMP said the two victims had been shot before the Jeep was set on fire. It is unknown how the individuals knew each other, but RCMP confirmed the victims were targeted and that it was not a random shooting.
“This type of crime is something that we don’t normally see in Sherwood Park and is not a common occurrence,” said Cpl. Darren Anderson, Strathcona County RCMP media liaison. “When they do happen, we throw all our resources at it and it’s a high priority for us to bring them to conclusion.”
Investigators are asking for anyone who may have had contact with Gregory before Dec. 30 to contact the RCMP. They also want to talk to anyone who may have been in the 34 Street area between 84 Avenue and 92 Avenue in Edmonton between 11 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 29 and 1 a.m. on Dec. 30.
An extensive investigation by the RCMP Major Crimes Unit and the Strathcona County RCMP, led to the arrest and charges to Posthumus on March 17 in Port Elgin, Ont. She was released on bail with a court date set in Sherwood Park for Wednesday, June 10.
RCMP also arrested Tym in Chilliwack, B.C. on May 29 and he was being held in custody in B.C., but was returned to Alberta last Wednesday to make a bail appearance. Tym’s next court appearance is also scheduled for June 10 in Sherwood Park.
