According to court information, he is 58 years old. CBC News has reached out to RCMP for clarity on the detachment where Erickson was employed.When ASIRT began investigating the Eckville shooting in 2019, the agency said the officer involved was looking into a possible location of stolen oilfield property, behind a strip of businesses on the north side of town.
While he was waiting, there was a "confrontation" that led to the officer shooting the man, ASIRT said.
