A male youth faces second-degree murder charges after a fatal incident at a residence on Star Blanket Cree Nation.
Response to the Scene
Officers from the File Hills First Nations Police Service arrived at the home shortly after midnight on February 18, 2026, following a report of a disturbance. They discovered an adult male deceased inside the property and took a male youth into custody at the location.
Details of the Case
Investigators confirm the suspect and victim knew each other, though additional information remains undisclosed. Due to provisions under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, authorities withhold the youth’s identity.
Court Appearance and Ongoing Probe
The accused is set to appear in Provincial Court in Fort Qu’Appelle on February 19. The case has transferred to the Saskatchewan RCMP Homicide Investigation Unit, as the File Hills First Nations Police Service lacks a dedicated major crimes division.
