EDITOR’S NOTE: A previous version of this story said the person who died was a man, however, the RCMP never revealed the person’s gender. We have corrected the story and regret the error.

A person has died and a woman has been arrested after reports of an assault in Bigstone Cree Nation Tuesday, Wabasca RCMP say.

RCMP say they arrived to find a seriously injured 75-year-old person. They attempted life-saving measures on the injured person but they were pronounced dead by EMS.

RCMP said 20-year-old Kree Taysheyah Roasting was arrested at the scene and is being charged with second-degree murder.

Roasting will appear in court on Thursday.
