Kelowna RCMP make arrest in 2022 murder

Police have laid charges against a 43-year-old man two years after a fight in downtown Kelowna ended in murder.

Kelowna RCMP received a report that a group of people were involved in an altercation outside of the Cactus Club around 12:45 a.m. on Oct. 9, 2022, according to a press release from police.

Someone stabbed Devon Foster, 32, in the fight and when police arrived they found him lying in the grass while another person tried to save him.

BC Ambulance arrived but Foster had succumbed to his injuries and he was pronounced dead on the scene.

Now, two years later, Tyler Sutter, 43, has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder. Sutter is in custody waiting  for trial.

“These types of investigations are complex and need to be done methodically and thoroughly in order to protect the integrity of the investigation. This investigation is now with the BC Prosecution Service, as such, the RCMP will not be providing any further details,” Kelowna RCMP Sgt. Laura Pollock said in the release.
