A 37-year-old man was shot dead north of Edmonton early Good Friday in what Alberta RCMP major crimes investigators call a “targeted” killing at a Morinville manufactured home community.
Officers responding to the Morinville Estates Manufactured Home Community just after 4:30 a.m. on April 18 found Shayne Fry fatally shot, police said in a Sunday news release.

Emergency crews, including STARS air ambulance, attended the scene but Fry died at the scene, about 40 km north of Edmonton.
“Though investigation is still ongoing, preliminary findings suggest that the shooting was most likely targeted and RCMP does not believe there is a risk to the general public,” said the Sunday news release.
Back in November of 2015, a 28-year-old man named Shayne Fry of St. Albert was wanted by Edmonton city police for second-degree murder. He was later arrested in December 2015 in Ontario. Fry pleaded to manslaughter in December 2016 and was sentenced to six years in prison.
He was one of several men wanted for the April 6, 2015, killing of Trevor Keith Deleeuw, shot in a strip mall parking lot near the outskirts of Edmonton, at Winterburn Road and 115 Avenue. His body was found beside a garbage bin at the Nevada Place apartment complex in St. Albert. Deleeuw had a criminal record from 2010, when he pleaded guilty to two counts of assault.
