Accused in Humpback Road shooting found guilty of first-degree murder

Damien Medwedrich, 28, was ­convicted Friday of ­first-degree murder in the death of ­26-year-old Alex Knatchbell, who was lured to a secluded area in ­Langford in January 2020 and shot 12 times.

Officers spent two years collecting evidence after Knatchbell’s death to the time Medwedrich was charged with first-degree murder in 2022, and throughout the investigation officers heard how loved her son was, she said.The courtroom was filled with Knatchbell’s family, including his two sisters, his grandmother, his aunt and uncle, and his ­girlfriend.

Knatchbell’s younger sister called him “the best big brother anyone could ever ask for.” He always made sure she knew how much he loved her, Katarina Chalifour said.Jackson’s verdict means the Crown proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Medwedrich was the shooter and the killing was planned and deliberate.

In the video, Medwedrich said, “I did it, and then he f***ing crashed the tree, crashed the car into the tree,” and “I didn’t get any money out of him, but like, yo, it’s done. Done. Done.”
