A suspected killer on the run has made two phone calls from the Langley area -- one to CTV News and one to police, according to people familiar with the calls.

Barry McQuarrie, who police describe as armed and dangerous after a murder in Cloverdale a week ago, called the RCMP at some point Saturday night, CTV News has learned.

That's about 12 hours before he phoned the CTV Vancouver newsroom, claiming he was innocent and that he wasn't ready to go to jail because he wanted to enjoy his summer.

"I want to let the public know, I’m not armed and dangerous. And let the police know that. I’m not armed and dangerous. No matter what. They can shoot me. But they’re shooting an unarmed man," he said.

Police would not comment on the Saturday call, though they said they believed the call to CTV News was genuine.

McQuarrie is a suspect in the murder of Gregory Quesnelle, who was gunned down in Cloverdale Monday. Police accuse McQuarrie of setting a getaway car on fire as well.

McQuarrie has said he did get into a fight with Quesnelle about his ex-girlfriend, using bear spray, but denied killing him or being there Monday night.

Facebook photos show a tattooed McQuarrie posing near cars. He describes his relationship as "it's complicated" and his religious views as "F*** the police."

McQuarrie has a listed alias at court as "Bad Ass Barry," and on Facebook he bragged about the alias, posting a photo of a toddler and describing the boy as "an up and coming bad ass."

In the phone call with CTV News, McQuarrie describes his flight from police as a game.

"This is a cat and mouse game. I’m not handing myself in to the cops because I’m not getting myself out when I get arrested. So they have to do their job and find me," McQuarrie said.

Police have warned McQuarrie they would like him to turn himself in safely. They're asking anyone who sees him not to approach him and to call 911.
