Summary

A Canada-wide search is underway for a Surrey man after a murder in the Northwest Territories. Twenty-two-year-old Krystian Cogswell is charged with one count of murder, one count of attempted murder and a count of aggravated assault after a man was found shot dead in a home in Fort Providence over the weekend. Two others were wounded. Police believe Cogswell is armed and dangerous and is likely headed south. The killings are believed to be linked to the drug trade.
