Man gets seven-year sentence for deadly shooting in Prince George, B.C.
PRINCE GEORGE — A man has been sentenced to seven years in prison in the shooting death of another man in Prince George, B.C., in 2023.
Mounties say the shooting happened on March 7 of that year, when officers responded to an altercation in an apartment building and found a male victim dead at the scene.
Police identified Dakota Rayn Keewatin as a suspect the next month.
Keewatin was arrested and later charged with second-degree murder in 2024.
A trial at the B.C. Supreme Court convicted Keewatin of the lesser charge of manslaughter, and he was sentenced to a seven-year prison term last Friday.
Police say Keewatin will serve about two years and eight months in prison, having received credit for time spent in pre-sentence custody.
