Five years after a shooting incident in La Ronge claimed the life of one person, injuries to another male adult while several other individuals managed to escape without serious injury, a male has been arrested.

According to the Saskatchewan RCMP news release, the name of the suspect cannot be released as he was 14-years-old at the time of the shooting back in 2019. However, he was arrested on Saturday and charged with one count of second-degree murder in the death of 26-year-old Jeremy Bird, four counts of attempted murder and one count of aggravated assault. The suspect made his first appearance in La Ronge Provincial Court Monday. The Saskatchewan RCMP Major Crimes Unit was assisted in the investigation and arrest by a number of other Saskatchewan RCMP units, including the La Ronge Crime Reduction Team and members of the La Ronge detachment.
