Arriving officers found a 35-year-old man with serious injuries. He was rushed to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
His name has not been released.
Police say they do not believe it was a random attack. Officers were told intruders had entered the victim’s suite and attacked him.
“We’re looking for anyone that may have information, we’ve interviewed witnesses or people that were in the area, in the same apartment building,” said Alyson Edwards, Saskatoon police spokesperson.
“Perhaps they heard or saw something and we’re also looking for public information to come forward if anyone knows anything out there.”
Edwards says an autopsy on the victim took place Monday.
Major crime and forensic identification officers continue to investigate.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 306-975-8300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
