Saskatchewan RCMP continues to investigate two incidents that occurred in southeast Saskatchewan on February 4, 2025.
Update on suspicious deaths on Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation:
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.
We are investigating the deaths as homicides. Initial investigation suggests the residence may have been targeted.
We are working with the Saskatchewan Coroners Service to formally identify the victims and are still limited in what we are able to share. What we are able to confirm is that the victims are two adult males and two adult females.
Though formal identification is pending, our family liaison team is providing investigational updates to loved ones we believe may be impacted by these homicides. We are also actively referring them to Victim Services for support.
Update on pointing firearm incident on Zagime Anishinabek:
As noted early this morning, Keagan Panipekeesick was arrested by Regina Police Service at a residence on Mathieu Crescent in Regina.
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.
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. We are unable to confirm a link at this time.
We are committed to continuing to provide updates as they become available. If an imminent risk to public safety is identified, we will notify the public.
