ELSIPOGTOG FIRST NATION – RCMP in eastern New Brunswick are searching for a suspect after a man was found dead in Elsipogtog First Nation earlier today.
The police force says officers discovered the body after receiving a report that a man had been shot outside a residence on Ball Park Street shortly before 2 a.m.
The Mounties have confirmed they are investigating the case as a homicide.
At around 2 a.m. this morning, an emergency alert message urged residents to lock their doors as police searched for a man described as armed and dangerous.
RCMP sent another alert around 6 a.m. advising residents they could leave their homes and resume normal activities, adding there was no longer a threat to the community about 60 kilometres north of Moncton.
Still, residents were also told they could expect to see an increased police presence in the area.
The Elsipogtog First Nation is one of New Brunswick’s largest First Nations.
Leaders from the First Nation did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
