Investigators now say two men were arrested earlier this week at homes on Eskasoni and the Potlotek First Nation, also known as Chapel Island, about an hour's drive south.

A 35-year-old from Eskasoni faces counts of attempted murder, discharging a firearm with intent and other weapons charges, while the 29-year-old from Potlotek is charged with accessory after the fact.

Both men are scheduled to appear in court on March 3.

Eskasoni First Nation Chief Leroy Denny says on social media that the victim was a cousin and the family is grateful to finally see charges laid.
