Alberta Mounties have authorized a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the fugitive Elijah Blake Strawberry.

Strawberry, 28, is wanted on a warrant for murder.

Strawberry is one of two suspects in the death of Colin John Hough of Airdrie, as well as the attempted murder of another person east of Calgary near Strathmore on Aug. 6.

The other suspect, 35-year-old Arthur Wayne Penner, is in custody.

RCMP allege Strawberry and Penner fatally shot Hough, who was employed by Rocky View County.

Officers believe Hough stopped to offer help when he saw the pair's stolen truck on fire, not knowing it had been deliberately torched.

RCMP say Strawberry and Penner then tried to carjack another vehicle, shooting a Fortis Alberta employee who was also working in the area.
