Saskatchewan RCMP continue to investigate four homicides that occurred on Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation and an incident of a firearm being pointed on Zagime Anishinabek First Nation on Tuesday, February 4.
Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crimes investigators remain on the scene of the suspicious deaths of four individuals on Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation. Residents will continue to notice an increased police presence in relation to the investigation.
RCMP are investigating the deaths as homicides. Initial investigation suggests the residence may have been targeted.
RCMP are working with the Saskatchewan Coroners Service to formally identify the victims and are still limited in what they are able to share, but are able to confirm that the victims are two adult males and two adult females.
Though formal identification is pending, the RCMP’s family liaison team is providing investigational updates to loved ones they believe may be impacted by the homicides. They are also actively referring them to Victim Services for support.
Early this morning, Keagan Panipekeesick was arrested by Regina Police Service at a residence on Mathieu Crescent in Regina for pointing a firearm on Zagime Anishinabek.
He has been charged with one count of pointing a firearm, Section 87(2), Criminal Code and one count of possession of a firearm contrary to order, Section 117.01(1), Criminal Code (Information 90531962).
He will appear before a Justice of the Peace today; details of his first court appearance are not yet available.
Two other individuals were also taken into custody at the residence. Officers continue to investigate their involvement, if any, with the firearm pointing incident.
At this time, investigators are examining into whether the firearm pointing incident and the homicides are connected. They are unable to confirm a link at this time.
