York-Sunbury Search and Rescue were called by the Fredericton Police to
assist in a search of the area between Jaffrey Street and Friel Street for
clues pertaining to the Jaffrey Street fatal shooting, which occurred on
July 15, 2003. A team of twenty-nine people, working under the direction
of search manager Stephen Moore began a shoulder-to-shoulder search

one of the searchers located a firearm in some bushes a short distance

Helicopter. Fredericton Police would like to thank the public for the
