Editor’s note: the following story contains graphic details
A woman who was present when a man was shot and killed during a social gathering in Prince Albert, explained he was one who brought the gun to the house and had been fooling around with the weapon, just prior to it going off.
This was among the testimony heard during day two of the Lynessa Highway manslaughter trial at Court of King’s Bench in Prince Albert. Highway, who was 18 at the time of her arrest in October, 2020, is alleged to have caused the death of 18-year-old Adam Pelletier.
In the early morning hours Oct. 10, police were called to a residence in the 1700 Block of 14th St. W. That’s where they found Pelletier suffering from a gunshot wound. He was pronounced deceased soon after.
