Man accused in Grand Forks shooting released on bail

A man charged with manslaughter in a Grand Forks shooting, who has skipped bail twice, is free again.

BC Prosecutions say there are strict conditions attached to Sean Tiessen’s release.

The 45-year-old was re-arrested for a second time a month ago after missing a court appearance in late September.

He was also taken back into custody for missing court in March 2024.

Tiessen is accused in the April 2023 death of 33-year-old Joshua Lockwood, who died in a rural home on Granby Road.

RCMP say Tiessen and Lockwood knew each other.

The charge was laid a year after the incident.

Tiessen is due back in Rossland court Jan. 26.
