The Edmonton Police Service will announce the preliminary results of a lengthy and complex investigation that unfolded within two provinces and required a number of law enforcement agencies.

On Saturday, March 3, 2015, investigators arrested and charged an Edmonton man for the July 20, 2014 shooting death of Alor Deng.

Sean Jennings, 27, was charged with second degree murder and four other firearms-related charges.

As a result of the same collaborative policing effort, the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team will also charge Sean Jennings with first degree murder for an unrelated shooting in Richmond, BC that occurred on Oct. 2, 2014.

The investigative partnership included members of the Edmonton Police Service, the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia, Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (British Columbia), Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team and Royal Canadian Mounted Police members within both British Columbia and Alberta.

During the two homicide investigations, police acquired additional evidence related to a number of very serious and violent crimes that demonstrated a high-level of violence both in Edmonton and in lower mainland British Columbia. The investigations included numerous shootings, home invasions and robberies.

As of today, police have laid over 50 criminal charges on two individuals as a direct result of this collaborative effort. As this investigation continues, police anticipate other individuals will be charged in the coming weeks.
