Two men charged in 2019 murder of Rex Gill
Two men have been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the 2019 shooting death of Rex Gill in Kamloops, British Columbia. Hugh Alexander McIntosh, 58, and Brandon Dale Fiddick, 34, were arrested and detained by a judicial justice on September 19, 2026.
Investigators believe the killing was a case of mistaken identity. Gill, an innocent bystander with no known ties to the drug trade, was shot outside a hotel in the Aberdeen area on January 23, 2019. The incident occurred approximately 90 minutes after the fatal shooting of Cody Mathieu at a nearby motel. Police have indicated that the two shootings were directly linked.
Since the incident, Gill's mother, Marie Nobles, has organized annual memorial motorcycle rides to raise funds for local food banks and missions. The breakthrough in the case follows a long-term investigation by the Kamloops RCMP Serious Crime Unit.
