TWO men have been arrested and charged in relation to the 2022 homicide of Cory William Thomas.
On August 12, 2022, at approximately 11:42 a.m., Ridge Meadows RCMP responded to a shooting at a residence in the 11900-block of 216 Street in Maple Ridge. Frontline officers located a man suffering from gunshot wounds. Despite life-saving efforts by first responders, the man succumbed to his injuries.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) was called in and continued to work in partnership with Ridge Meadows RCMP, the Integrated Forensic Identification Service (IFIS), and BC Coroners Service to advance the investigation.
The victim was identified as 33-year-old Thomas and at the time, investigators believed the shooting was a targeted incident connected to the local drug trade.
On March 27, 2026, IHIT investigators arrested 26-year-old Richard Angelo Pignatelli of Maple Ridge in relation to the homicide of Thomas.
On March 28, 2026, the BC Prosecution Service laid one count of manslaughter with a firearm and one count of break-and-enter of a dwelling house against Pignatelli in relation to the homicide of Thomas.
On April 10, 2026, 27-year-old Kyle Raymond Edlund of Maple Ridge was charged with one count of second-degree murder with a firearm, break-and-enter of a dwelling house, and possession of a loaded prohibited or restricted firearm.
The next day, IHIT investigators arrested Edlund in relation to the homicide. He remains in custody until his next court appearance.
“The charges laid reflect years of hard work and evidence gathering, underscoring the dedication of IHIT investigators throughout this case,” says Sgt. Freda Fong of IHIT. “Murder is the most serious offence, which is why every step in the investigation must be informed, measured, and conducted with the utmost care. Investigators go to great lengths to navigate the challenges that come with complex investigations, and achieving charge approval is a significant milestone as this case moves forward.”
As this matter is now before the courts, no further information will be released.
