A Calgary police officer has been charged with two counts of second-degree murder in relation to a police shooting during a chase on a busy Calgary roadway more than two years ago.

The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) announced Tuesday that Cst. Craig Stothard is facing two charges stemming from a May 29, 2023 incident in which police opened fire on a stolen cube van following a slow speed chase on Memorial Drive.

Levon Fox was one of two men killed, the other being the driver of the vehicle, Wesley Davidson.

ASIRT launched an investigation after the shooting and concluded there were reasonable grounds to believe criminal offences had occurred.

The case was forwarded to the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service (ACPS), which agreed the evidence met standards for prosecution.
