"Cape Breton Regional Police say one person is dead after an early morning shooting in Whitney Pier, N.S.
In a statement issued Saturday morning, police say they were called to a home in the Shore Road area after gun shots were heard. Police say a male fled the scene, as well as a white truck.
Police say they tried to stop the vehicle, but were unsuccessful. Three people inside the vehicle then fled into a wooded area.
An emergency alert was issued shortly before 3 a.m. AT to locate the suspects.
Police say the emergency response team, two canine units, a drone unit and other police officers searched for the suspects, who were later arrested at an apartment complex.
On Sunday, police said all three suspects have been charged with first-degree murder, and identified the deceased as 44-year-old Jeffrey Pearson.
It's unclear where this apartment was located."
