Two men have been found guilty in the 2024 shooting death of Colin Hough, an employee with Rocky View County. After 14 hours of deliberations, a jury found Elijah Strawberry and Arthur Penner guilty of second-degree murder. The pair was also convicted of armed robbery after stealing Hough's vehicle and attempting to steal a vehicle belonging to FortisAlberta employee Matthew Andres, who was also shot but survived. The men had also faced charges of attempted murder in connection with the shooting of Andres, but those charges were withdrawn. The court heard that Andres was approached by Penner and Strawberry, who were driving a vehicle that appeared to have a flat tire. After being shot in the arm and having a gun pointed at his head, Andres fled and watched as the two men set their vehicle on fire. Hough drove to the scene to investigate the fire when Penner and Strawberry ran toward his vehicle and opened fire. Hough was shot three times and left on the roadway before his vehicle was stolen.

Penner and Strawberry now face automatic life sentences following their convictions for second-degree murder. During sentencing submissions, jurors were asked to recommend a period of parole ineligibility, with recommendations ranging from 10 to 25 years. A sentencing date is expected to be set in October.
