A jury in an Alberta court found two men guilty of second‑degree murder on Saturday for shooting and killing Colin Hough, 45, an employee of Rocky View County, in a roadside attack east of Calgary on August 6, 2024. After the verdict, the victim’s wife was seen sharing an emotional hug with the prosecutor.
According to The Canadian Press, jurors concluded that Arthur Penner and Elijah Strawberry shot and killed Hough on a rural road in the city after deliberating for 14 hours. “I love you,” Laurie Hough said to prosecutor Photini Popadatou as they embraced after the verdict, as quoted by the news agency.
