Saskatoon police have laid charges in connection to a shooting that claimed the life of a 27-year-old man.
In a release, police said at 6:30 a.m. on Sunday, an officer was waved down by a man who said he had been shot in the 200 block of Avenue O South.
The victim was transported to hospital by Medavie Health Services paramedics but later died from his injuries.
The victim has been identified as Shedane Favel.
Police announced late Sunday they had arrested three boys aged 13, 14 and 16 in connection to his death.
The trio will appear in Saskatoon Provincial Court on Monday charged with second-degree murder.
This is the city’s fifth homicide in 2022.
Police also want to talk to a man who was robbed at gunpoint while riding a bike in the same area just before Favel was shot.
Anyone who has information on the incident is asked to call 306-975-8300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
