On Tuesday, police confirmed Hunt’s death was a homicide. The autopsy showed he died of multiple gunshot wounds. A suspect car was later seen and apprehended on Highway 16 by police with the assistance of Parkland RCMP. Its three occupants were taken into custody. Wol Akuei, 21; John Morris, 20; and John Ocwalla, 19 are each charged with first-degree murder. Ocwalla faces an additional charge of accessory after the fact to murder.
