Murder charge laid in pedestrian death

The death of a pedestrian in West Kelowna just over one year ago has resulted in a murder charge being laid.

Officers from West Kelowna RCMP arrested 27-year-old Ka-Mikosit Favelle for second degree murder on Sept. 15 in connection with a fatal pedestrian and motor vehicle incident on Horizon Drive in August 2022.

The incident resulted in the death of Adam Briand-Lawrence.

“The warrant issued on Sept. 15 is for second degree murder, criminal negligence causing death and dangerous driving causing death,” Cpl. Michael Gauthier said.

Favelle remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in court again on Sept. 19 in Kelowna.
