A 17-year-old boy who plead guilty to four counts of manslaughter in a quadruple homicide last year on Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation has been given a three-year sentence.
The boy, whose identity is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was given his sentence Friday at Regina provincial court after pleading guilty to the charges in February; he was originally charged with four counts of first-degree murder.
Two men and two women were killed in February 2025 on Carry the Kettle Nakoda Nation, which is east of Regina.
The victims were identified as 34-year-old Tracey Hotomani, 51-year-old Terry Jack, 44-year-old Sheldon Quewezance and 47-year-old Shauna Fay.
In addition to the boy, three others were arrested.
The boy sentenced Friday will serve two years in custody and one year under supervision in the community, Crown and defence attorneys agreed in a joint submission.
Court heard that three years is the maximum penalty, and none of his time served counts towards his sentence.

On the day of the shootings, two of the people also accused of the killings went to Jack’s home, a known drug den, to buy substances, according to an agreed statement of facts. Instead, the accused and Jack got into a fight. Cash and one of the accused’s cellphones were stolen.
After the fight, the two co-accused walked to the nearby home of the 17-year-old who was sentenced Friday in Regina.
They picked up two guns, and the boy.
At 6:45 a.m., Fay was shot after answering the door for two of the accused – who then proceeded inside. The boy waited outside, eventually running away when gunshots rang out, said the statement of facts.

“Over the course of several seconds, they shot and killed victims, Quewezance, Hotomani, and Jack,” the documents said.
A witness said the shooting stopped by 7:04 that morning.
“Forensic autopsies determined that all four victims died as a result of gunshot wounds. No other significant injuries were reported,” according to the statement of facts.
Because he provided the guns and attended the scene, the teen was determined to be guilty of manslaughter, the document said.
