Homicide investigators say they have found the vehicle driven by Eric John Shestalo, who allegedly shot and killed two women Thursday in Chilliwack, BC.
Shestalo, 50, remains at large and is considered armed and dangerous, according to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT).
He was last seen driving a red 1990 Jeep YJ with a yellow front Thursday after a triple shooting at a home in the 9700 block of McNaught Road, near Yale Road, east of downtown Chilliwack around 11 a.m. Thursday.
Police said they located the jeep in nearby Bridal Falls on Friday. A man was also injured in Thursday’s shooting, but his injuries were not life-threatening, police said.

“Investigators are in the process of determining why Mr. Shestalo traveled to Bridal Falls. We are working to determine if he is staying in the area or if he left,” said Sgt. Timothy Pierotti in a statement.
Police said the public should exercise caution if they spot Shestalo. People are asked to call 911 and stay away from him.
He is described as a white male, five feet nine inches tall and weighing 176 pounds. He was last seen wearing black pants, a black jacket and a black hat with an orange brim.
Police said Shestalo knew the victims and the shooting is believed to have been targeted. They are asking for the public’s help as they try to find Shestalo.
