We heard about the sixth homicide this year in Saskatoon on Sunday. But there was a fifth.

The Saskatoon Police Service is investigating an April 15th death as Saskatoon’s 5th homicide of 2026.

Shortly after 8:30 p.m. that Wednesday officers responded to a report of an injured and unresponsive person in an apartment building in the 1100 block of Avenue W North.

Life-saving measures were attempted; however, the person was declared deceased by medical personnel.
