According to band leaders in Hobbema, Alta., they are trying to figure out how to put an end to gang violence that has scared 15,000 residents 90 kilometers southeast of Edmonton after the most recent murder.

Roy Louis, head of the community says: “We’ve done a lot of good, successful things in terms of bringing in gang expertise in to our community, working closely with the schools, and I thought we had a pretty good handle on it. Obviously it really hasn’t worked.”

Police will sit with the leader and band council members Tuesday morning to discuss the homicides.

Moreover, an autopsy is to be held Tuesday for the most recent victim, a 23-year-old female murdered outside a house in the Samson Cree townsite Monday. Reports establish that the dead female was Chelsea Yellowbird. She had a gunshot wound in the neck, perhaps fired at 3 a.m.

Louis added: “How can anyone live in safety when we have drive-by shootings? It’s mind-boggling what’s happening right now.”
