Homicide investigators say they have charged an Alberta man in connection with a Chilliwack murder dating back to 2018.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) says Harry Christensen has been charged with first-degree murder in relation to the death of 27-year-old Kyle Cromarty.

On Oct. 4, 2018, police responded to a call for a man in medical distress on Yale Road near Broadway in Chilliwack. When RCMP officers arrived, they found Cromarty, who had been shot.

He later died in the hospital, police say, prompting IHIT to be called in.
