Salmon Arm home invasion leaves one dead

Salmon Arm RCMP say three suspects — two men and one woman — forced entry into a home on Fourth Street SE around 3 a.m. on July 17, 2026, resulting in a resident being shot and killed. The suspects fled the scene in a black Chrysler 300, described as having three matching wheels, a solid steel wheel on the rear passenger side, and a sunroof. The vehicle was later found burned in the Glenemma Trailhead parking lot at the Kelly Mountain Recreation Site. Investigators are appealing for public help, asking anyone who was in the area or has dash-cam or surveillance footage to contact Salmon Arm RCMP and to avoid approaching the suspects. Authorities have urged the public to call 911 if they encounter the suspects and are continuing to pursue all leads in the homicide investigation. The case has been covered by multiple local outlets, reflecting ongoing efforts to locate those responsible.
