Woman killed on Samson Cree Nation was aunt of young victim

Posted: Wednesday, September 7, 2011

A 23-year-old woman who was shot and killed on the Samson Cree First Nation on Monday was the aunt of a five-year-old victim of gang violence.

The woman was identified as Chelsea Yellowbird. She lived next door to Ethan Yellowbird, who was killed in a drive-by shooting in July.

"How can anyone live in safety when we have drive-by shootings?" community leader Roy Louis told CBC News. "It's mind-boggling what's happening right now."

Ethan was the grandson of Chief Marvin Yellowbird.
