Police arrest murder suspect after a month-long search after girlfriend’s death

After nearly a month of searching, Calgary police have arrested 37-year-old Gerald Russell Frommelt, who is accused of killing his 23-year-old girlfriend Jamie Lynn Scheibel.

The former Hells Angels collaborator was wanted on a Canadian second-degree murder warrant.

Police say Frommelt was arrested in Calgary around 3:50 p.m. Friday at a 1900 block at 24th Street SW

Last week, police said they believed Frommelt was being helped to hide in the Calgary area.

Police have launched a search for Frommelt after Scheible was shot dead in the northeastern Calgary community of Temple on April 7. She died soon after.

Past release documents received by CBC News from the Canada Parole Board show that Frommelt has a history of violence against women and was once ordered to report all relationships with women on board.

“We would like to thank the public and the media for their help in moving forward with the investigation,” Calgary police said in a statement.
