Police in Sicamous are warning of a “potential public safety risk” after a man was arrested then released with conditions over the death of a woman at a mobile home park.
RCMP say 66-year-old Jo Ann Jackson was treated by paramedics at the driveway of a home in the park on around 4:45 a.m. Wednesday but died at the scene.
Officers say the man was located in the area and arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and taken to the Salmon Arm RCMP detachment. He was released on Thursday with a series of protective conditions, including an order to not return to the property at 1707 Hillier Road in Sicamous
Police say Jackson’s death “is believed to be an isolated incident” but investigators with the Southeast District Major Crime Unit believe there could be a public safety risk.
They say in a news release that police are “implementing additional measures” to mitigate public safety concerns.
Investigators are seeking dash camera or other video taken between 1 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday from within the area of Hillier Road to the Trans Canada Highway in Sicamous.
Those with information are being told to contact the Southeast District Major Crime Unit Tip Line at 1-877-987-8477.
