RCMP say a 32-year-old has been convicted of manslaughter in a 2023 killing at a Prince George apartment building.
It happened on March 7, 2023, at the Connaught Hill Residences, a highrise apartment building less than 500 metres from city hall.
Police were called to the scene following an altercation and reports of gunfire, where they found blood and the body of Davis Smith.
Soon after, they identified Dakota Rayn Keewatin as the suspect, and on Aug. 19, Keewatin, now 32, was found guilty of manslaughter in B.C. Supreme Court.
Manslaughter is typically used to refer to a homicide, or killing, committed without the intention of causing death, though there may have been an intention to cause harm.
There is no minimum sentence for manslaughter in Canada except in cases where a firearm is used, in which case it carries a mandatory four years in prison.
