Kamloops RCMP today (March 4, 2019) released the following statement:

Gordon Braaten.

Gordie Wayne Braaten was arrested this afternoon at a residence on Cree Drive on Tk’emlups reserve.

Braaten was wanted for the murder of Jason Glover which occurred on Feb. 15 on Tranquille Road. Hugh Alexander McIntosh, also wanted for the murder of Glover, was arrested last week in Langley.
