RCMP in Kitscoty are investigating a murder – after results from the autopsy of a man in his 30s showed the man was murdered.

Police confirmed Bryan Gower, 35, of Lloydminster, was slain.

Results of the autopsy showed he was shot.

Investigators also said a second male also suffered non-life threatening injuries, and was found in the area of Gower’s murder – but police said that man had no involvement in the slaying.
