Formal charges have been approved for assault by BC Prosecution Services on an information sworn March 25 2025 for an assault that occurred at a Summerland concert venue in August of 2024.

Shane Eric Cable 58, is facing 1 charge of assault under Sec 266 of the Canadian Criminal Code relating to an incident at the Summerland music event, as verified by Okanagan Life Magazine through British Columbia Court Services online.

Musician Brice Tabish age 34, the victim told Okanagan Life Magazine, the attack was wholly unprovoked and the motive is unclear. Tabish alleges there were several witnesses to the assault which helped get the assault charge approved by BC Prosecution Services. Tabish further alleges Cable came onstage at the end of the Las Divas concert, and was head butted into his amplifiers by Cable. Speculation over the alleged motive by Tabish, claims Cable’s girlfriend Carol Zosiak aka Carol Adams was not invited onstage to perform in her former band and may have contributed to somehow enraging Cable.

Cable was allegedly first arrested in March 2025 then released on conditions court records reveal, ostensibly while the BC Prosecution Service worked with police on charges.

Shane Eric Cable was due in Penticton Law Courts May 21 2025 to enter a plea. However Tabish reports that Cable was a no show he says based on a call from Victim Services, leading the judge to issue a bench warrant for Cable’s arrest. Cable did not respond to requests for comment.

Shane Eric Cable is a resident of Kelowna and police advise not to approach him. If you have information as to his whereabouts please contact the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300.
