“I reiterate: if you have information to share about this investigation, please speak directly with the police so it can be examined thoroughly. Rumours can spread quickly. Please remember the loss the victim’s loved ones have experienced. Misinformation can impact an investigation by rerouting investigators in false directions. Investigations must follow evidence and our investigators are trained to do just that.”

On Feb. 4, RCMP were called to a firearm incident that took place on Zagime Anishinabek. Later that night, Regina police arrested 29-year-old Keagan Panipekeesick at a residence on Mathieu Crescent in Regina.

Anishinabek is charged with one count of pointing a firearm and one count of possession of a firearm contrary to order.

“At this time, investigators are examining into whether the firearm-pointing incident and the homicides are connected,” RCMP said last week. “We are unable to confirm a link at this time.”
