An Edmonton adult male who supplied a teen with a semi-automatic go later used to shoot down deuce constabulary officers has been found guilty of manslaughter.
Dennis Okeymow was convicted on three counts of manslaughter on Tuesday along with other offences related to the killings, as well as to a previous shooting involving the teen.
Justice John Little said while Okeymow didn't pull the trigger, by selling a semi-automatic rifle to 16-year-old Roman Shewchuk, the man knew or should have known something terrible could result.
Okeymow was charged in the 2023 deaths of Edmonton police constables Travis Jordan and Brett Ryan, as well as the teen.
The officers were responding to a domestic disturbance at an apartment building when they were ambushed and shot to death by Shewchuk.
Shewchuk then killed himself.
