    An Alberta man has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with a cold case in Chilliwack, BC that dates back more than four years.

    Kyle Cromarty, 27, was found with gunshot wounds in the 46600 block of Yale Road in Chilliwack on October 4, 2018 and later succumbed to his injuries.

    Harry Christensen (25) from Alberta was arrested in connection with the case on November 25 and the murder charge was approved on November 26.

    “This case is a testament to the resilience and dedication of the IHIT members,” said Sgt. Timothy Pierotti of the RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) in a Monday news release.

    “Our investigators continue to dedicate themselves to these cases long after the initial call came in.”

    The investigation into Cromarty’s death was transferred to IHIT’s cold case team in March last year. When the investigation first began, police said the shooting was likely targeted.

    However, Cromarty’s heartbroken family said they did not understand the “senseless” killing or why anyone would want to hurt him.

    “His friends and family are just devastated by this … he’s such a good kid. Can’t figure out why it happened,” Cromarty’s uncle, Darren Head, told Global News on October 7, 2018.

    On the day of the murder, Head said Cromarty was helping his mother install a washer and dryer at her Chilliwack home. Around 2:40 p.m., RCMP received reports of shots fired outside Cromarty’s apartment.

    “Nobody knows (why). That’s what’s so hard about this, it’s so pointless. He was a wonderful child. He was in no way affiliated with any gang, he was not a thug or a drug dealer,” Head said at the time.

    “He was the most polite respectful kid you ever met. He’ll help you out, give you the shirt off his back in the blink of an eye, no questions asked.”

    Cromarty had no criminal record, worked full-time and spent a lot of time at the gym. Head said he lived for his family, especially his young niece.

    “He hasn’t even really started living yet. He was an absolutely outstanding child and it’s a terrible, terrible loss.”
