A local newspaper reported that police identified the victim today as McIntyre a 48-year-old who was shot outside of the Fixx Urban Grill but worked at another restaurant, Le's Family Restaurant. Little information has been released on McIntyre, but he has been linked to the Twitter account jay mack, which has not been active since July 16, the day of McIntyre's death.One of the account's last tweets include one tagged with BC's RCMP Twitter handle saying, "Ready 4 our little showdown? Our people r going 2 b in place at that meeting in Dawson Creek(BC Hydro)."
BC's law enforcement watchdog had initially believed that a man who disrupted the protest and the person shot were the same man, but have since found that they are not. In a video statement, Independent Investigations Office of BC spokesperson Kellie Kilpatrick says that the IIOBC has not seen a case with "as many moving parts and changing landscapes as this one."The massive Site C hydroelectric dam on Peace River was approved by the BC government earlier this month, and had been met with lawsuits from environmental and First Nations groups.At time of publication, one of Anonymous's last tweets asked its audience to stand by for more proof of the "murder." They later tweeted that the Anon killed was Indigenous, and that BC Hydro is helping to cover up the situation. Both tweets have since been deleted.
