The Royal Mounted Canadian Police announced an arrest in connection with a double homicide on the Whitefish Lake First Nation in Alberta.

Dylan Laboucan, 17, and Cory Grey, 19, had been reported as missing when their bodies were found at different well sites on the reserve. Both were shot and killed.

Edward Devin Boyce Gladue, 19, is now facing two counts of second-degree murder in connection with their deaths. He was a friend of the young couple and a cousin to Dylan, CBC News reported.

"He had the nerve to come to my residence and deny everything," Becky Thunder, Dylan's mother, told CBC. She said she had asked Gladue if he knew anything about her son's disappearance.
