WEST KELOWNA — Police in British Columbia say two people have been charged with first-degree murder after a decade-long investigation into the death of 22-year-old Tura McCarty in West Kelowna.

RCMP say 33-year-old Heather White of Kamloops and 60-year-old Cal Little of Abbotsford were arrested last Friday and charged the next day.

Police say McCarty was found dead in the driver seat of his SUV in a rural area in West Kelowna on Jan. 6, 2016, and major crimes investigators have been working on the case since then.

Investigators say the homicide was believed to be targeted and an isolated case.
