Two men charged for 2019 Kamloops murder of Penticton man

Two hours before that shooting, 31-year-old Cody Mathieu was shot and killed outside of the Super 8 Motel in Valleyview. Mathieu was involved in the local drug trade and known to police, but no charges have been laid in connection with his death.

Police have said the two shootings were linked and that the investigations were combined and led by the Kamloops RCMP Serious Crime Unit.

“A tremendous accomplishment by our investigate teams in resolving a seven-year-old homicide, with two individuals now charged with murder,” Kamloops RCMP Supt. Jeff Pelley said, in a Saturday (Sept. 19) statement.

“This horrific event had a profound impact on the victim’s family and our community.”

RCMP said both McIntosh and Fiddick were arrested and detained by a judicial justice on Saturday morning.

“This is a testament of the persistence, commitment, investigative skill and unwavering determination of our Serious Crime Unit and those that contributed over the years,” Pelley added.

“Most importantly there is an opportunity for some resolution to those affected by this tragic event, as we remain committed to the communities we serve.”

In the years after Gill’s death, his mother, Marie Nobles organized annual charity rides in honour of his legacy.

The inspiration for the charity ride stemmed from Gill’s desire to organize a motorcycle ride from Penticton to Kelowna to take jackets to the homeless prior to his death.

Prior to his death, Gill had recently been laid off from the oil patch in northern Alberta, and was in Kamloops doing a siding job for a friend.
