The family of murder victim Colton Crowshoe is growing increasingly frustrated with delays in the case.

Colton Crowshoe, 18, went missing after leaving a house party in the northeast Calgary community of Abbeydale on July 4, 2014. His body was found three weeks later in a water retention pond near Stoney Trail and 16 Avenue N.E.

Johnston says she was originally expecting Provost to be sentenced on Feb. 23, 2024, but her family had to wait until May 10 to deliver victim impact statements.Johnston says most recently, sentencing was delayed so the judge could ask more Indigenous elders to come in and speak on behalf of the situation.

Colton Crowshoe, 18, went missing after leaving a house party in the northeast Calgary community of Abbeydale on July 4, 2014. His body was found three weeks later in a water retention pond near Stoney Trail and 16 Avenue N.E. That process alone can take about four months, but he notes that the other issue with delays have to do with a lack of funding.

King adds that Alberta in particular did not participate in a process to request funding for new federally-appointed judges in 2021, leading many to criticize the UCP government for perpetuating delays in the court system. CTV News has reached out to the Alberta Ministry of Justice for comment on delays related to sentencing decisions, and is waiting for a response. He was last seen leaving a party with Provost in the northeast Calgary community of Abbeydale just two days prior.An autopsy determined Crowshoe's death was a homicide.

Provost admitted to getting into a disagreement with Crowshoe, prompting a physical altercation, and for Crowshoe to run away.It was reported in court that the bone in front of his neck was fractured, as was the cartilage on both sides of his neck.
